PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Odyssey of the Mind is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students of all ages. The program challenges teams to solve open-ended problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting clever and unusual interpretations of literary classics. Teams test their creative solutions at competitions held on the local, state, and world levels.
Questar III coordinates the Region Four tournament for teams in Rensselaer, Columbia and Greene counties each year. Notices about coaches and judges trainings and district coordinator meetings will be listed under the Odyssey of the Mind Timeline as they are confirmed. Membership information is available at www.odysseyofthemind.com.
