Welcome to a new Odyssey of the Mind season!

Welcome to the 2023-2024 season!

Get ready for a great Odyssey adventure.  The teams will visit a movie drive-in, explore the beauty of art through a robot’s eyes, continue with the show no matter what antics happen during opening night, test a deep space structure,  rock with your favorite band, or search for things that wake up at night.  Check the problem synopsis and start forming your teams!

Interested in learning more about Odyssey of the Mind or how to build a team?  Join us on September 23, 4 pm for an information session during the Coordinators’ Information Session (see sidebar for details)

Would you help us advertise at your school?  Please request the school administration to include the “Invitation to Coordinators’ Information Session” flyer in your “Wednesday/Thursday Folder”, other community outreach methods, teachers, and the Parent-Teacher organization.  Click here to download the flyer.  Thank you!
