Odyssey of the Mind is a creative problem-solving program for students ranging in age from kindergarten through college. Students work on teams to develop creative solutions to broadly defined problems. It allows students to work with others and provides them with the opportunity to learn creative problem solving, brainstorming, and teamwork. The team of up to seven members selects from the six given problems and after working for several months on the solution, presents it at a regional tournament.  At this time, the students will compete against other teams solving the same problem in their age division.
