Odyssey of the Mind is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Kids apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. They then bring their solutions to competition on the local, state, and World level. Thousands of teams from throughout the U.S. and from about 25 other countries participate in the program.

Over the past several years Saint Michael Lutheran School has had numerous teams compete at both the elementary and middle school levels. Teams have taken one of the top 2 places at both the regional and state competitions for the past 5 years. Our teams have also placed as high at 2nd at the annual World Tournament.
