Odyssey of the Mind is an internationally acclaimed educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Team members apply creativity and critical thinking to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. They then bring their solutions to competition at the local, state, and world level. Thousands of teams from the U.S. and about 25 other countries participate in the program. 

Those who place highest in the Regional Tournament will have the opportunity move on to the upcoming state Odyssey of the Mind competition.

Best of luck to all of the teams participating in this weekend’s tournament!
