What a year it has been!
We started the program with a huge interest from multiple students and parents. Over 24 students registered for the program. Parents signed up as volunteers and we had a parent-coach support structure in place to support the ecosystem. Once COVID hit, things stalled, some of the teams dropped out, but a few ploughed through!
OMERs to the Rescue Again! (Category - Vehicle)
Who better to help those in distress than OMER?
- In this problem, OMER and his trusty Sidekick traveled to different places with suitcases holding all of the parts of an OMER-mobile vehicle!
- OMER and his Sidekicks assemble and ride on the vehicle where it functions in different ways to “save the day”.
- Between attempts, the vehicle is disassembled, put back into the suitcases, and taken to a different area where it will be reassembled and driven again.
- Finally, the OMER-mobile is thrown a hero’s parade as a show of appreciation!
