 This club, provided for sixth graders, will allow students to think and problem solve.  The Odyssey of the Mind is a national program that teaches students to learn creative problem solving methods while having fun in the process.  By tapping into creativity, and through encouraging imaginative paths to problem solving, students learn skills that will provide them with the ability to solve problems – great and small – for a lifetime.  The Odyssey of the Mind teaches students how to think divergently by providing open-ended problems that appeal to a wide range of interests.  After creating solutions to problems provided by The Odyssey of the Mind, students will participate in regional competitions held on Saturdays throughout the state and area.  Participation in this club keeps students focused on the Odyssey of the Mind competitions and problem solving from October to May.  For more information about the national Odyssey of the Mind check out their website at http://odysseyofthemind.com.
