 Welcome From the Director Tournament of Minds continues to be one of the most exciting Creative Problem Solving Programs available to students in Queensland. 2010 is proving to be a great year of growth for our Sunshine State as we move into online registrations for the first time. A variety of Creative Thinking and Teambuilding opportunities are available for you and your students. Advanced Creative Thinking Student Workshops are offered in your school, as well as a variety of Teacher PD Seminars. These are designed to assist both new and experienced facilitators, the next one to be held on 24th July. Check regularly for updates on these events. Please do not hesitate to contact me on MOB_0416061998 if I can assist in any way. We look forward to welcoming you and your students! Kathy Underhill Director

 STUDENT WORKSHOP TESTIMONIAL: Hello Mrs B
Here is the testimonial I have written:
"I loved the Tournament of the Minds workshop. Fun, is not even a good enough word to explain what we did that day! The team and I found out that things are not always what they seem, so we have to think and work out of the box. But best of all, I found out that everyone has a special part in the team, and what makes a good team are the people that support one another and never leave a team mate out. By the end of the day I found the confidence in myself to express my ideas to the team openly and confidently."
