The Odyssey of the Mind School Program fosters creative thinking
and problem-solving skills among participating students from kindergarten
through college. It features an annual competition component at
local through international levels. Students solve problems in a
variety of areas, from building mechanical devices such as spring-driven
vehicles to giving their own interpretation of literary classics.
Through solving problems, students learn lifelong skills such as
working with others as a team, evaluating ideas, making decisions,
and creating solutions while also developing self-confidence from
their experiences.
Thank you to Mrs. Deb Martin for serving as our Odyssey of the Mind Coordinator. We also thank Mr. Mark Lopes, OM Regional Director, for attending our coaches meeting and introducing the program to our parent coaches. We are asking all teams to e-mail or call Mrs. Martin with their team information including student team members and coach names. In addition, you must register your team. Registration must be completed no later than January 22, 2008 and checks ($40 per team made payable to South Valley Odyssey of the Mind) must be postmarked by February 1, 2008 to avoid a late fee. To register your teams please visit the OM website at www.odysseyofthemind.com. If you have any questions please email Mr. Lopes at southvalleyom@hotmail.com or call him at 903-9103. Thank you for your interest in this mind-strengthening program and good luck! Also, our Spontaneous Practice Day is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, January 19, 2008. We will let you know the location as soon as it is confirmed
