Hi,
We hope you’re enjoying your summer and keeping your creative mind active! On July 1st, we unveiled our new website. The new look and layout makes it easier to navigate to find what you are looking for than ever before. During the summer we will be unveiling an updated Volunteers Corner, Members Area, and a newly created Team Portal which will help you and your teams navigate our program with ease! We’re excited and hope you enjoy the new site. If you have not had a chance to look at it, please visit www.odysseyofthemind.com and check it out.
As you know, we provide open-ended long-term problems that put your curriculum into action through hands-on learning. We are delighted to unveil the long-term problem synopses for the upcoming season. The 2021-2022 Long-Term problems are: Escape vroOM, Odyssey ReOMvention, Classics…(NAME HERE): The Musical Production, Matryoshka Structure, Life is a Circus, and Tri-Cycle Transport (for our younger OMers). For the full synopses, click here. You can use our program as part of your curriculum or as an extracurricular activity for your entire school or community group! Each membership allows for one competitive team per problem per division to be eligible to participate in a sanctioned Odyssey of the Mind event which means your membership provides the opportunity for at least 5 teams to take part in a tournament!
Since 1993, the cost to join has been $135 per membership. From now until October 15th, we will honor that price, including purchase orders submitted by October 15th. On October 16th, the price is scheduled to increase for the first time in 28 years, to $290. There are discounts for purchasing multiple memberships for a school district! Visit our website for more details and to start or renew your membership at the lower rate!
Thank you for supporting our wonderful program.
Have a wonderful summer, we hope to hear from you soon!
