Odyssey of the Mind (OotM) demonstrates that creativity can be taught, stimulated and improved with practice. Students use their engineering, artistic, and theatrical skills to conceptualize and create new solutions to intriguing problems; they learn to “think outside the box” and develop valuable skills that will be essential for success in the 21st Century.

Teams of students meet weekly from fall to mid-spring under the supervision of trained parent coaches. Cost is minimal, but parent assistance is required given that OotM is an entirely volunteer-led program. If you’re interested, please register at http://tinyurl.com/CJMS-Odyssey2021 before the deadline Oct 1st.
