ODYSSEY of the MIND
2020 WORLD FINALS
GOES VIRTUAL

Odyssey of the Mind was, is, and always shall be about finding new ways to solve problems. Sometimes those are Long-Term Problems that allow us to take many months to understand a problem and generate solutions. Sometimes they’re Spontaneous problems with tight limitations and short time frames that keep us on our toes and test how we handle ourselves in the moment.
COVID-19 has appeared as our biggest spontaneous problem and as a solution we have decided to move 2020 World Finals from the campus of Iowa State University to the virtual world of the internet. This is a continuation of World Finals, not a cancellation, with a change of venue and procedures in response to a changing world.

Alli Norcutt, "I‘ve done Odyssey for 9 years and I plan on attending GVSU to earning a Masters in social work and go onto be a councilor. I’d love to thank my coaches, Sue and Chris Potter, for pushing me to be the best version of myself and the odyssey community for teaching me that for every problem there is a solution. I love this program and sincerely will never forget the valuable lessons it has taught me.”

Phoebe Looman“I have been participating in OM for 13 years. It has taught me how to independently solve the problems that come my way with creative solutions. OM has lead me to study psychology at MSU. The leadership skills I have earned from my experience on a team of other Omers have created the person I am today and I hope I can give back to the program somehow in the future.”
