Odyssey Of The Mind

Odyssey of the Mind (OotM) is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Team members apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. They then bring their solutions to competition on the local, state, and World level. Thousands of teams from throughout the U.S. and from about 25 other countries participate in the program.

Each year Bancroft teams compete at one of the largest Regional Tournaments in the State of California, the SF Bay Regional Tournament. 

Thank you to our parent coaches - without you, our students would have never have this incredible mind opening experience…THANK YOU!
