Tournament of Minds (TOM) – is a problem-solving competition that is one of the enrichment highlights of the year for Herzlia pupils at primary and high school levels. Pupils have six weeks to solve their challenges creatively and collaboratively and prepare to present to a judging panel. 

TOM is a series of enquiry-based learning challenges across various disciplines like STEM, social sciences, language and literature and arts and culture.

It would have absolutely been a little “tougher” this year, as all teams from all cities were involved in ONE nationwide tournament, competing against a far greater number of teams in each category, not just the schools in their region.

Three sets of results acknowledge the Winners, Honours Certificates and Merit Certificates.
