Odyssey of the Mind is an international program where children learn creative problem-solving techniques. Students learn to identify a problem, brain­storm solutions, evaluate ideas, select the best one, and then develop it. You can learn more on the Odyssey of the Mind website (www.odysseyofthemind.com) or the Nova North site (www.novanorth.org/wp/?page_id=1274), which is the branch that oversees OM in our region.

If we have additional parents that are willing to coach, we can create additional teams and open the program up to more students. If you’re interested in coaching, please email Renee.
