Odyssey of the Mind allows high school students to build skills such as risk-taking, creative thinking, problem solving and divergent thinking.
Students work as a team to manage projects over many months.
During the tournament, a scholarship is awarded to recognize one student in West Central Wisconsin who has demonstrated a dedication to the process of long term and spontaneous problem solving. Jensen has been active with Odyssey of the Mind for four years, two years as a team member and two years as a coach. There are 16 regions in Wisconsin that have the program and more than 11,000 students participated in Wisconsin this year.
