What is Odyssey of the Mind?
Odyssey of the Mind™ started in 1978 when Dr. C. Samuel Micklus launched the first competition at Glassboro State College (now Rowan University) in New Jersey. The program began with 28 New Jersey schools and has since grown into an international creative problem-solving program.
Odyssey of the Mind™ promotes creativity, problem solving, teamwork, and more. It is a creative problem-solving competition that gives kids the confidence to think for themselves and to create solutions to any challenge. Independent study, original ideas, and critical thinking skills are rewarded over getting the “one right answer” thanks to our unique open-ended problems that are backed by educators and experts in STE(A)M fields. Performance, art & cultural studies are also incorporated, creating a well-rounded program that has impacted lives for over 40 years. OM benefits all types of students as they learn to think beyond the box!
Welcome to our new site and check back for more updates coming soon! Discover this year's problems and feel free to contact us below.
