What organization created the odyssey of the mind?
The Odyssey of the Mind program was started in 1978 Dr. C. Samuel Micklus, a professor at Rowan University in New Jersey. That first competition, known as “Olympics of the Mind”, involved teams from 28 New Jersey schools. The program is now international, with teams from all over the world. Odyssey of the Mind is currently administered by Creative Competitions, Inc. It is a creative problem-solving competition involving students from kindergarten through college. Team members work together to solve a predefined problem and present their solution to the problem at a competition. They must also generate spontaneous answers to a problem they have not seen before. Sources: http://en.wikipedia.
