Abstract

The Bohn-Meyer Math and Science Odyssey is a one-day event for 8th graders. Odyssey exposes the students to the variety of careers that math and science can open up for them through exciting, hands-on workshops presented by local mathematicians, scientists, and engineers. Hosted by Antelope Valley College, and powered by a team of industry, government, and academic volunteers, Odyssey serves as a motivating experience for students with a wide diversity of backgrounds as they begin to make decisions about their high school career and beyond. This paper will explore a brief history of the event, a description of its structure, and lessons learned and best practices for those interested in starting or improving their own local programs.
