Odyssey of the Mind
A Creative Problem Solving Competiton
2021-2022 is going to be an exciting year! One program, six problems, two competition platforms.
Given the ongoing challenges of the pandemic and the fact that OMers know there are many solutions to a problem, this year Odyssey of the Mind is offering our Traditional Membership and a new Virtual Membership!
Having the option of a Virtual or a Traditional Membership gives everyone the opportunity to use their creativity to solve problems. Teams from both types of memberships will be solving the same problems with the same clarifications. Every team is guaranteed the opportunity to demonstrate their creativity in an official Odyssey of the Mind tournament. Teams will be able to advance in competition and could ultimately earn their way to an in-person World Finals or our Virtual World Finals!
Also note that all six of our 2021-2022 Long-Term Problems are available now when you register!

Good luck, stay safe, stay creative, and have fun!!



South Carolina Odyssey of the Mind (SCOotM) is a completely volunteer run non-profit organization that offers the world's premiere creative problem-solving program for students K-College. By tapping into creativity, and through encouraging imaginative paths to problem-solving, students learn skills that will provide them with the ability to solve problems for a lifetime. Odyssey of the Mind teaches students how to think Beyond the Box divergently by providing open-ended problems that appeal to a wide range of interests.
Technology and science meet art and drama in Odyssey of the Mind - a creative problem-solving competition in which the students learn how to write skits, make props, act, build mechanical devices, and work as a team in the process.
