The kids at Innovation Academy elementary build, write and test their ideas on stage as part of the 'Odyssey of the Mind' extracurricular club.
ORO VALLEY, Ariz. -- — Southern Arizona schools are on summer break, and kids are enjoying some free playtime and activities with friends and families.
What makes this club stand apart, is the adults cannot interfere with the student's design and execution once it's time to compete. Using a prompt from judges, competitors put their artistic skills up to the challenge. "We try not to go too fast but not too slow," 5th grader and team leader Lily Poyas said."It's normal conversations, but we don't want to take too much time... they take way points if we go over time."
