The Odyssey of the Mind program was created in 1978 by Dr. C. Samuel Micklus, a professor at Rowan University in New Jersey. The program, also known as OM, is a creative problem-solving competition open to students in grades kindergarten through college. Team members work together to solve both predefined and spontaneous answers in program competition. During recent years, Spring Branch elementary and secondary teams have won regional, state and national awards. (9-13-07)
