Last year, a Colorado OM alum came to OU. She and her dad (who is still living in Colorado) decided to form a Div IV team. They discussed most of their solution via email and text and then, at World Finals, completed the actual building of the solution, rehearsing and preparing for their competition day right there at University of Maryland.
These two adults are again wanting to compete at World Finals and are looking for additional team members. This year, finals is at Iowa State University May 23 - 26. Div. IV team members who agree to perform volunteer hours during Finals receive a $200 discount on their registration, which is about $520 without the discount. If you are interested in this opportunity to be on a Division IV OM team and compete in Iowa, you should contact rdm0728@comcast.net. They would be interested in hearing from you at the earliest opportunity because they must register their team this week.
Next year, my son and his friends plan to have a Division IV team from OSU. School ends the first week in May, which gives a team 3 weeks to prepare a solution before leaving for World Finals. Easy-peasy. Keep that in mind if you can't do it this year. Remember you can view a video of my son's solution from last year's World Finals at www.stillwatercreativity.com (linked on the About Me page of this blog.)
Let me know if you have questions I can answer.
