It's a fine program, but each kids experience is only as good as their coach.

I wonder how a parent could support anything like this if we can't get inside of DCPS buildings.

typically yes! Ours used to do it but the teacher champion who took it on has since left and it just sort of withered....

If you are a straight girl in the balsa wood event you will have your pick. It's like being a straight boy at choir camp.

LOL I met my first BF during a competition there! I clearly wasn't the coolest kid, LOL but too funny. Glad to hear I wasn't the only one!


LOL. I had the biggest crush on someone from a different school who had zero interest in making out with me.
I loved participating in Odyssey!

My son and his friends did it in elementary, but they all lost interest by middle school.

I remember this from when I was a kid - is this around for middle schoolers now? Anybody have their kids participate from DCPS schools?
