FUTURE PROBLEM SOLVING

Future Problem Solving is our most competitive all-around academic program. Visit the Future Problem Solving webpage. Students begin in grades 4-5 investigating community problem solving opportunities, begin training for competition in grade six, and teams of four compete in grades 7 - 12. Students must use advanced research skills, teamwork, critical and creative thinking over 17 specific categories, and follow a model to solve a futuristic problem.  For more information,on FPS at Barnstable High School, please contact Christy Salley.  salley_christy@mybps.us  For information about FPS at Barnstable Intermediate School, please contact Deb Contrino.  contrino_deb@mybps.us.  For information about FPS at Barnstable United Elementary School, please contact Jeane Bogosian, bogosian_jeane@mybps.us.   

MOCK TRIAL

Mock Trial is offered by the Massachusetts Bar Association with support from the Barnstable Gateway Program at the high school level.  We use the same format to run a program in Grade 8, and prepare students for that experience in Grades 6 and 7 through a variety of written and public speaking experiences.
