Gorham Middle School 7th grader: Maine Odyssey of the Mind Pin Winner!

 

Every year, Odyssey of the Mind holds a pin competition inviting OMERS to create pins representing our beautiful state. This year's pin requirements had to represent Maine animals munchin' on Maine foods, with one of the pins being a bird. Pin collecting is HUGE in the OM world, and every state and other countries designs pins to represent their part of the world. At World Finals, Pin trading with OMERS from around the world is an incredibly popular hobby, and this year, Jessica Loiselle's design was selected by the Maine Odyssey of the Mind Board as the official 2024 Maine Bird Pin! For the last 23 years, Maine OM has sent a bird pin to the World Finals. There are people from around the world who are on a mission for the Maine Bird Pin every year. So, this year, I am very excited to share that Jessica's pin design will be sent to the manufacturer soon and used to represent our state at the World Finals this year. 








Below are some images of pin trading at the World Finals. As you can see, OM Pins are a BIG deal ;)
