This year, one team and two alternates participating in the Futures Problem Solving Program at Nueva traveled to the Future Problem Solving International Bowl, or FPSPI, at Michigan State University in Lansing, Michigan.
This year, the Nueva School will be the first school in California to compete in the Community Problem Solving component of Future Problem Solving organization. Community Problem Solving uses the same 6-step model of problem solving, but instead of working with hypothetical futuristic problems, teams identify and solve real world challenges in their community. The program will be open to veteran problem solvers only this year. The regular Future Problem Solving, Team and Individual competitions will still run, and will be open to all students in Grades 5, 6, 7 and 8!
