Odyssey of the Mind is a unique activity that teaches creativity, problem solving, confidence, and teamwork. The best thing about participating in Odyssey is that your team gets to do everything! You’ll use your own ideas, write your own scripts, build your own vehicle or balsa structure, paint your own scenery, and design your own costumes. No one else is allowed to contribute to your solution, whether it’s suggesting a name for a character or cutting a piece of cardboard.
Resources are important. First and foremost is the Program Guide, which is on the Odyssey of the Mind official website. The Resources page has additional options.
This web site offers answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we receive from team members. Take some time to look through the information here, and if you have any questions, please contact our school coordinator liaisons.
