Coaching An OM Team
Welcome to the 40th season of Odyssey of the Mind in Colorado! Becoming an Odyssey of the Mind Coach will probably be one of the most rewarding volunteer roles you will ever have. As a coach, you will help guide up to 7 students to develop creative and critical thinking skills, learn to solve difficult problems in a team environment while allowing all ideas and solutions to be the students’ own. In the end, you will absolutely be amazed by what the kids have created and solved completely on their own…but they could not have done it without you as their coach!
It's As Easy 1-2-3-4
