“Odyssey of the Mind” is the largest international creative problem-solving competition worldwide. An innovative and imaginative learning experience, it is a hands-on, immersive process that teaches science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) through a collaborative, fun and social experience.

To run the program for students in grades 3-5 next year, a parent coach (or co-coaches) is needed to work alongside a teacher coach to organize and guide the group. If you are interested in being a parent coach, please email [email protected]. If you have any questions about Odyssey and what is involved in coaching, please contact Suzanne Pacifico.
