Division Highlights
Future Problem Solving (FPS) is a program that t
eaches students a six-step creative problem solving process in which they research a topic, then, based on a one-page future scene, identify potential problems, define underlying problems, write solutions to the underlying problems, identify criteria to rank the best solution possible, and write an action plan. Throughout the year, the students explore highly complex global topics. This year's topics are Educational Disparities, It's all in the Genes (genetics), 3D Printing and Identity Theft.
The club is offered to anyone in the middle school who would like to participate. Please let Carol Griffin (carol.a.grif@gmail.com) or Mr. Sogard (esogard@evansvilledayschool.org) know if your student would be interested and if you have a preference for after school or before school.
