La Palma hosted its first Children’s Mind Sports Olympiad on December 29th and 30th, and had over 300 participants competing in various games ranging from Blokus, Chess and Abalone to Tangram and Mastermind. The tournament took place at the Brena Alta Sports Center and is part of a collaboration between MSO and the Canary Island’s Aprender Jugando educational outreach program.

The next La Palma MSO event will take place from June 7th to the 9th, and the children with the highest Pentamind scores will have the opportunity to travel to the Mind Sports Olympiad in London from August 21 to 29, 2016.
