Odyssey of the Mind (OM™)

Odyssey of the Mind (OM) is an international educational program that encourages students to harness their innate creativity to tackle and solve unique, open-ended problems. By participating in OM, students not only learn the art of problem-solving but also gain self-confidence, a trait that will benefit them in all facets of life. The program is not just about finding solutions; it's about the journey of discovery, teamwork, time management, budgeting, and public speaking. The 2023-24 long-term problems are now available for current members, marking the beginning of a new Odyssey. Additionally, the program has initiatives like Odyssey Angels, where teams use their problem-solving skills to assist communities globally. There's also a segment dedicated to Odyssey alumni, showcasing their journeys and achievements post-OM.
