    Future Problem Solving is our most competitive all-around academic program. 

    Students begin training 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 in grades 6-12, please contact Deb Contrino, contrino_deb@mybps.us. For more information on scenario writing, please contact Christy Salley, salley_christy@mybps.us.
