Odyssey of the Mind
is an international educational
program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Team members
apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own
interpretation of literary classics. They then bring their solutions to competition on the local, state, and
World level. Thousands of teams from throughout the U.S. and from about 25 other countries participate in the
program.
An exciting documentary is airing on PBS featuring Odyssey of the Mind -- "ReCreating America: Creativity and Learning." See if your local station is carrying it, if not send them an email and request it! You can find your local station and its info here.
