Odyssey of the Mind is an international creative problem-solving program that allows participants to engage in spontaneous thinking and long-term analytical activities. This program has been in existence for 40 years and involved thousands of participants from around the globe. In September 2018, coaches and judges from a region in a Southern state from the 2017-2018 Odyssey of the Mind season were surveyed to determine the skills and competencies perceived to be built within the framework of this program. There were 10 core competencies that were identified from this study with teamwork, creativity, and problem solving being in the top.
