Our Why
Every student is capable of a moment of genius.
Sometimes it happens when an unexpected idea becomes a working solution. Sometimes it’s finding the courage to speak up, trying again after something fails, or discovering a strength they never knew they had. These moments help students recognize that their ideas matter—and that they are capable of great things.
Odyssey of the Mind gives students room to explore without a single prescribed answer. They imagine, build, collaborate, and take ownership of what they create. Along the way, they develop more than a solution to a problem. They discover confidence in themselves and appreciation for what others bring.
Maine Odyssey of the Mind. a registered 501c3, exists to give every Maine student the opportunity to discover their own genius, and carry that confidence into whatever comes next.
