ODYSSEY OF THE MIND SEASON
Every year Odyssey HQ releases new problems that touch in six different areas that have direct connections to real-world challenges and imaginative themes.
Students will discover and be introduced to fundamentals of STEAM while practicing the skill of working with others to solve fun problems and building solutions from recycled items and components being in innovative ways. All the while, they will be working within a budget and learning how to make the most of everything.

Spontaneous
In competition, every team solves a spontaneous problem. This part of the competition is called “Spontaneous” because teams don’t know what they’ll have to do until they enter the competition room; spontaneous problems are kept “top secret.” Solving spontaneous problems teaches students to think on their feet and to creatively solve problems as they arise.
