What is FPS?
Future Problem Solving (FPS) is an activity that allows students to be challenged while learning how to solve problems and look at the future. FPSPofCT offers several options to teachers or parents who want to provide their students with the opportunity to be involved in FPS. The future problem solving process allows students to develop critical thinking skills while encouraging their creativity and can be incorporated into the curriculum in a variety of subject areas for students from grades 4-12.
FPS’s components can be used in the classroom, in an after school program, as a TAG program, by home- schooled students and by youth groups. FPSPofCT offers training and materials to adults working with FPSers.
