Todd Odyssey of the Mind
Odyssey of the Mind is designed to create problem-solving opportunities for all students grade 6 - 8. This program promotes creativity by challenging members to solve divergent problems by working in teams. Students learn the important skills of teamwork, self-respect and respect for others through such activities as brainstorming and role-playing. Every October, Odyssey of the Mind publishes five problems for which students may sign-up to solve. Based on the number of students who chose to participate, teams are created to solve a particular problem. These teams meet after school from 2:30 – 3:00 starting in late October to prepare for the regional competition in late February. Winners of the regional competition go on to State Finals in March.
