Odyssey of the Mind (OM) is a program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students. 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.
This opportunity is open to students in kindergarten through 5th grade. Teams are organized each fall and have 4-6 members, with a parent serving as the coach. Teams meet weekly, either after school or on the weekends. Competition events begin in early Spring.
We do not currently have a parent volunteer for OM. Please contact the office if you are interested.
