Odyssey of the Mind

Odyssey of the Mind: The peak of beyond the box thinkers.

Mondays: Non-competitive session.

Thursdays: Competitive session that will go to the state tournament at Bethel Middle School March 29, 2025.

Non-Competitive

Odyssey of the Mind is a beyond the box creative problem solving adventure. Participants will develop and use their natural creativity to become problem-solvers that find original solutions to unique open-ended problems. 

In this class participants will begin to develop the fun and creative thinking skills that Odyssey of the Mind is built upon. For example: name things that break, if you had a million bars of soap, what would you do? And hands-on activities such as getting balls into containers of different sizes, building bridges between chairs, drawing a doodle and telling a story.

Competitive

Odyssey of the Mind 2024 Ready, set, Create! Looking to put your Odyssey of the mind out of the box thinking to the test? This class, teams will pick a long term problem from the OM 2024-25 program. Teams will design, build, and present their unique solution at the annual CT State Odyssey of the Mind Tournament at Bethel Middle School on Saturday, March 29th.

If your child is interested in participating, there will be an open house on the first day, November 14 from 4:30-5pm to go over information and requirements, as well as give parents an opportunity to ask any questions they may have.
