Tabb Elementary Odyssey of the Mind

The Odyssey of the Mind School Program fosters creative thinking and problem-solving skills among participating students from kindergarten through college. It features an annual competition component at local through international levels. Students solve problems in a variety of areas, from building mechanical devices such as spring-driven vehicles to giving their own interpretation of literary classics. Through solving problems, students learn lifelong skills such as working with others as a team, evaluating ideas, making decisions,and creating solutions while also developing self-confidence from their experiences.  For more information, and to view the problems for 2005, visit the Odyssey of the Mind web site:
