2024-2025 Hampton Township Odyssey of the Mind Association (Coach interest)

What is it? Odyssey of the Mind is a creative team problem-solving activity open to students in Kindergarten through college.

"Through solving open-ended problems, students develop creative-thinking skills that can be applied to real-life situations. Each year, tens of thousands of students take part in Odyssey of the Mind, the original STEAM education program established in 1978." [-from the PA Odyssey of the Mind info sheet]

Participating in Odyssey of the Mind provides terrific opportunities for students to work together to solve problems creatively, but it is not possible without our parent volunteer coaches.
