Four teams of
Schenectady students will be competing in the Odyssey of the

Odyssey of the
Mind (OM) 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.

the region.
