Parent Help Needed for Tournament of Minds
by Selena Gallagher
selenag@isb.ac.th
Tournament of Minds (TOM) is a creative, problem-solving competition for teams of up to 7 students in either the elementary school or middle school who work together to solve demanding, open-ended challenges in one of several disciplines. This year we are looking for some parent volunteers to act as team facilitators for some of our TOM teams. The role of team facilitator will involve guiding and supporting a team as they prepare to compete in the Bangkok Tournament on 6th March, and is a very rewarding opportunity. If you are new to Tournament of Minds, you can find out more about it through these posts on my blog. If you are interested in getting involved, or you would like more information, please contact Selena Gallagher – selenag@isb.ac.th
