Odyssey of the Mind is a non-profit, international creative problem-solving program for students, Kindergarten through College! The philosophy behind the Odyssey of the Mind program is that creativity can be learned. Problems cover many disciplines such as classics, performance, vehicle, structure, and technical. All solutions are done entirely by team members and outside assistance is not allowed! Students learn lifelong skills such as teamwork, project management and divergent thinking. Students learn to examine problems and identify the real challenge without limiting the possible solutions and their potential success. In Odyssey of the Mind there are no wrong answers!

Teams take their solutions to a tournament on a state and World level. Participating in a tournament encourages teams to work at their full potential, gives them an opportunity to showcase their solutions and exposes them to the ideas of others. Team members work together to create a solution to one of the six problems that are released each year. There are three elements to the competition:
Long Term problem: Teams work over an extended period of time to create a solution to a long term problem.
