Seven incredible 6th graders just accomplished something amazing—they placed 1st in Florida at the Odyssey of the Mind State Competition for Problem 5.
Now, they’ve earned the opportunity of a lifetime: an invitation to compete at the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals in Iowa this May.
This is where the best teams from around the world come together. It’s not just a competition—it’s a global stage for creativity, teamwork, and innovation.
And they’ve earned their spot.
But we need your help to get them there.
Our team must raise $20,000 in just a short time to cover:
- Travel to Iowa
- Competition registration fees
- Lodging and meals
- Transportation for the props they’ve worked so hard to build
These students have spent months brainstorming, building, problem-solving, and practicing. They’ve learned how to think creatively under pressure, work as a team, and bring big ideas to life—skills that will stay with them forever.
Now they’re ready to take on the world.
We just need to help them get there.
Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real impact. If you’re unable to give, sharing this campaign with your network can help us reach our goal in time.
The deadline is approaching quickly, and we can’t do this without your support.
Let’s come together to support these hardworking students and give them the chance to represent their school—and their community—on the world stage.
Help us turn their state championship into a world championship experience.
