Are you looking for an exciting challenge? The Future Problem Solving Program (FPSP) is an academic team for students in grades 4 through 8. FPSP teaches students how to think, not what to think. This is accomplished by teaching critical and creative thinking skills, and problem-solving and decision-making skills through a six-step process. Working in teams of four to seven, the program provides opportunities to apply the process to real-world problems that are relevant today and in the future.
FPS is FUN! There is no doubt that FPS is challenging, but most kids love stretching their brains, and working together to come up with solutions to make the world a better place. The 2019-20 topics are Sleep Patterns, Gamification, and Living in Poverty.

The Future Problem Solving teams will meet on Tuesdays at Nisswa Elementary October through early April from 3:45-5:30pm. The first meeting will be on Tuesday, October 1 in the Nisswa Elementary School Music Room at 5pm. All interested new and returning participants must attend this mandatory information meeting prior to registering. Important additional information regarding the program will be shared at this meeting, including details about the program, curriculum, commitment required, competitions, additional costs, etc. Parent/guardian and student must be in attendance. FPS will not meet on 12/24 or 12/31. End date TBD, an additional weekly practice date will be added in January and March.
