Odyssey of the Mind

This international competition is an excellent fit for St. Francis students. By tapping into creativity, and through encouraging imaginative paths to problem solving, students learn skills that they will use throughout their lives.

Odyssey of the Mind teaches students how to think divergently by providing open-ended problems that appeal to a wide range of interests. Students are free to express their ideas and suggestions without fear of criticism. This process rewards ‘out of the box’ thinking.
