How, not what, to think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For nearly forty years, the Future Problem Solving program in Minnesota has been teaching students how to think — a skillset independent of any particular domain knowledge, experience, or something something something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This thinking process is accomplished through a number of different programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLearn more<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/span>Teaching kids domain-independent problem-solving skills is one of the most valuable investments we can make.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve used these skills in every facet of every job I’ve had, and continue to employ them on a daily basis. They’re foundational my capacities as a technology problem-solver and troubleshooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/span>I am so grateful to have been a part of the Minnesota Future Problem Solving program, as a competitor and a Student Ambassador. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through FPS I have explored many interesting topics, learned how to think critically and futuristically, with no limits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have met so many amazing people through the program. As a student ambassador, I gained useful insight on how the program runs, and learned how to be a better leader. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
