All of the problems are appropriate for use by teachers in the classroom, because they appeal to all types of learners and are effective in developing problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. As the book titles suggests, the Odyssey of the Mind program is meant to make learning fun. Students work together in teams so they form life-long friendships as they learn cooperation and collaboration.

With titles such as History the Way It Was and Bridge the Gap, there is bound to be a problem here that appeals to every student. Problems range in subject matter from the arts, to technology, to the classics. In addition to teamwork, students are taught to budget their money, because each problem has a cost limit, and also to budget their time, since each problem also has a time limit. There is a “no outside assistance” rule, so students must solve the problems on their own, or seek out learning the skills necessary . About Odyssey of the Mind Odyssey of the Mind is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Team members 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. The program began in 1978 in Glassboro, New Jersey, and is the original educational creative problem-solving program. It is administered by Creative Competitions, Inc. whose international headquarters is located in Sewell, New Jersey.
