The Pierce Hammock Elementary School team achieved first place at the Odyssey of the Mind Regional Tournament on Saturday, Feb. 22 in Port St. Lucie. They are now headed to the Florida State Odyssey of the Mind Competition at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando on Saturday, April 12.

Odyssey of the Mind is a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) problem-solving program where students are taught skills and then must use them to solve a problem. These students made Palm Beach County shine with their knowledge, skills and presentation. The team of students and teachers worked hard and achieved an amazing accomplishment. They will join 200 teams from across the state to compete for the honor of going to the world competition in May.
