Here is the video of San Elijo Hills Foundation Team performance at the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals in May, 2015:

The SEH Team were doing Problem 3, Division 1, “Pandora’s Box” (for more information, see http://www.odysseyofthemind.com/materials/2015problems.php )

The team placed 2nd in the Regional tournament in February (in Oceanside), 1st place in the State Tournament in March (at UC Riverside), and 8th place in the Worlds (at Michigan State University).

We’re so proud of them! They represented our San Elijo Hills community on an international stage, competing against teams from across the US, Singapore, China, Poland and others. To finish in the Top 10 was an amazing accomplishment. The kids were recognized for their achievements by the San Marcos City Council in June.

Congratulations to the kids for all their hard work throughout the year on this project! They had a blast doing it and are looking forward to getting their hands on next year’s problems!

The kids would like to thank everyone in San Elijo Hills, their friends and family for their well-wishes and support. Most of all, they would like to thank San Elijo Hills Foundation for sponsoring the team!
