For the eighth time, the University of Maryland will host the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals, May 27-30, 2011 -- just one of many programs offered at Maryland this summer. Nearly 18,000 people, including 858 teams from 33 states and 14 countries, will descend on Maryland's 1,200-acre campus for the World Finals, the largest international creative problem-solving competition. Teams, which consist of seven members ranging from elementary through college-age students, all earned a spot to represent their hometowns in the competition. These students, who represent the world's best problem solvers, tackle mind-bending challenges through the arts, performance, science, storytelling and engineering - to name a few.
