Pennsylvania’s original K-12 creative problem-solving program


OMER Wants You!

Our PA state board is looking for help with grant writing, and any other talents you may have to support the students of Odyssey of the Mind. Volunteering doesn’t mean you have to join the board and sit through meetings! If you feel you have a talent that could be useful to our OMers, please let us know. We would love to hear from you for a one-time thing or ongoing!

For more info, email David at associationdirector@paodyssey.com

Podcast: OM HQ’s Sammy Micklus

Odyssey of the Mind HQ’s international director, Sammy Micklus, recounts the origins of what was then Olympics of the Mind – when his father and founder of the program Dr. Sam recruited him to volunteer. Sammy goes on to tell the tales – or tails, as OMER might say – of the program’s milestones and memorable solutions, including a look at what goes into writing problems, scoring guidelines, and clarifications.
