In the
Future Problem Solving Program, students learn to think futuristically.
They learn a six step process to identify possible challenges, an underlying
problem, possible solutions, criteria, a weighting process, and the development
of a solution. The students may work individually or in a team to do prior
research regarding a topic. The Coaches for this program are Mrs.
Faith Forsythe and Mrs. Elyse Sedillo.
