Odyssey of the Mind
Students learn how to think divergently by answering open-ended problems in a team setting. Embedded in the process are the skills necessary for student readiness for careers and colleges such as creativity, innovation, problem-solving, critical thinking, global awareness, interpersonal and collaborative skills, self-direction and adaptability.
Our Region 7 Odyssey of the Mind Service:
- Instructs school coaches about the program;
- Trains volunteers to judge the competition; and
- Produces the annual regional tournament.
Membership in the state and national organizations is required for participation in this service.
MasterMinds
MasterMinds is a fast-paced, questions-and-answer academic competition for high school students (formerly the GE College Bowl). School membership in regional leagues is coordinated through this service.
