Odyssey

Directed by Garrett Stiger

Odyssey of the Mind is in 30 countries. Over 15,000 teams compete each year. This is the story of one of them.

Six California kids test their brains and talents against students in Odyssey of the Mind, a problem-solving competition requiring mechanical, creative and intellectual skills. With little money and zero adult participation, the teens build a robot to tell a story about bullying, exclusion and mental health. But how does their solution measure up?
