ORO VALLEY, Ariz. (KGUN) -- — Southern Arizona schools are on summer break, and kids are enjoying some free playtime and activities with friends and families. One bright young team of elementary school students in Oro Valley will have to wait a couple of months before they can start building something new together next year. The kids at Innovation Academy elementary build, write and test their ideas on stage as part of the 'Odyssey of the Mind' extracurricular club. Teachers, stepping in as coaches, show the students how to cut materials like pipe, measure the pieces and adhesives, then use it to build mechanical devices.
