FPS Components

Under the guidance of a teacher/coaches, individuals or teams of four students in grades 4-12 use the FPSP six step model to explore challenges and propose action plans to complex societal problems, such as smart clothes, rage/bullying, artificial intelligence, Media Impact and immigration

Booklet Problem Solving

Teams apply their FPS skills to real problems in their community. A community problem is a problem that exists within the school, local community, region, state or nation. Implementation of the action plan is included in this component. Teams move from hypothetical issues to real world, authentic concerns. The top Community Problem Solving Team projects are invited to the FPSP International Conference in June.

This program is also offered in as an Individual Community Problem Solving competition.  Process and divisions are exactly the same as for Team Community Problem Solving, however, a student completes the process solo.
