Children can see the extraordinary in the ordinary. In this problem we will ask them to use that ability to create their own museum! The team will create and present an original museum and its exhibits. During the performance, the team will reveal three creative displays that explain the theme of the museum and show off team-made items. A tour guide will take audiences on a journey through the museum to meet a humorous artist and a curator.

Who better to help those in distress than OMER? In this problem, OMER and his trusty Sidekick travel to different places with suitcases packed with all of the parts needed to make an OMER-mobile vehicle! OMER and his Sidekick will assemble and ride on the vehicle where it will function in different ways to help them “save the day.” The team will choose from a list of rescue situations and a list of actions for the vehicle to perform. Between one of the rescues, the vehicle will be disassembled, packed back into the suitcases, and moved 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!

Imagine how inspiring it would be to visit Leonardo DaVinci’s workshop. Teams will create and present a performance that tells an original story about Leonardo DaVinci that includes his workshop setting, a Patron who presents him with a problem to solve, and some of his works. These include a recreation of one of his paintings, a three-dimensional representation of one of his works, and another recreated in any form the team wishes. There will also be an original “debunked” creation, something that Leonardo made but discarded because of it being mocked by a Naysayer Character. Ironically, the item will be shown as something commonly used in modern times.
