Colorado Odyssey has been a chartered association of Odyssey of the Mind since 1983 and is an all volunteer organization. Odyssey of the Mind (OM™) teaches students how to develop and use their natural creativity to become problem-solvers. Imagine being faced with a problem that requires an original solution. It can be frightening. Now imagine not being afraid to solve that problem – that is what OM team members learn. This skill along with self-confidence will carry over to all areas of their lives. OM brings the classroom to life as students apply what they learn and combine it with their interests and passions to solve our unique open-ended problems. OM also emphasizes teamwork, budgeting, time management, public speaking, and so much more. This international program is designed to help students at all learning levels grow as individual learners, grow as team members, and to reach their full potential. An Odyssey of the Mind team chooses one of the six Long Term Problems to solve each year.
Odyssey of the Mind is an international extra-curricular educational program that provides STEAM, creative problem-solving opportunities and 21st century skills development for students from kindergarten through college.
Working in small teams, students apply their creativity to solve carefully designed problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. They bring their solutions to competitions on the regional, state, and world level.
