"It goes without saying that a child is impacted creatively in Odyssey. 
They learn to ask the questions not asked by others. When you take the word 'no'
​out of the equation and instead say, “I didn’t say you couldn’t,' 
​it unlocks a part of the brain begging to be heard."

— Lindsay Elliott, third-grade teacher 
​at Sweetwater Episcopal Academy in Longwood, 
from her must-read Odyssey of the Mind: Creativity in the Classroom blog post
