A Cobblestone Publishing magazine
ODYSSEY is an award-winning science magazine for kids ages 9 to 14. In every issue, readers are updated on the latest discoveries and science news for kids in our "Science Scoops" feature, get involved with projects and experiments, and read in-depth science articles and interviews with real scientists and researchers working in multiple fields. Page through our interactive samplers of ODYSSEY to get a feel for the content and design of this cutting-edge children's magazine.
With ODYSSEY, readers explore the hottest trends in science from across a range of disciplines - earth science, biology, ecology, computers, robotics, and more - with a special focus on new and emerging technology as it relates to real kids’ lives. Each month, readers are encouraged to get outside and do some sky watching with our section on astronomy for kids featuring monthly star charts and "Stargazing with Jack Horkheimer," a graphic story featuring Miami Science Museum and Planetarium’s noted astronomer Jack Horkheimer, host of PBS's Star Gazer astronomy show. Kids will also find an “Animal Angles” column, “Brain Strain” puzzle, and “Ask Dr. Cyborg” science Q&A forum.
One of
ODYSSEY's key missions is to get kids excited about and involved in science in their own lives. Reader involvement is a critical piece of
ODYSSEY, and children have many opportunities to contribute stories about their own scientific adventures for “Fantastic Journeys” and enter frequent science fiction writing contests.
ODYSSEY Magazine is the recipient of many awards and much praise. The prestigious New York Academy of Sciences called ODYSSEY "a beautiful, informative science magazine." Read more reviews of ODYSSEY
