Odyssey of the Mind
Calling all engineers, writers, actors, scientists, problem-solvers, project managers, artists, and creative thinkers!
Odyssey of the Mind (OOTM) is an international creative problem-solving program where students work together in teams to solve challenges in fun and imaginative ways. The OOTM season runs from October through March.
What Students Do
In Odyssey of the Mind, teams of 5–7 students will:
-
Develop a solution to a complex problem by creating an 8-minute skit.
-
Practice creative thinking and risk-taking.
-
Learn new skills and strengthen existing ones.
-
Build confidence in their abilities.
Work as a team—doing it ALL themselves. -
Have fun, make friends, and learn at the same time!
Present their skits and solve an on-the-spot problem at the Regional Tournament.
