What is Odyssey of the Mind? OM is an international program offered at the JFKS (grades EC-12)  that teaches students how to develop and use their natural creativity to become problem-solvers. Such problems include construction of small operable vehicles and devices, design of costumes and props as well as script writing and performance. The program emphasizes creativity, problem-solving, writing, teamwork, time management and public speaking.
