FPS

Apollo’s FPS and composition members from the academic team competed in the District Governor’s Cup competition and OCHS on Thursday. This blog will focus on the Future Problem Solving part of the competition.

Basically, we pretty much dominated. We got into the testing session and got down to business. In FPS, one strives to come up with sixteen challenges to a given situation, an underlying problem of this situation, sixteen solutions to this underlying problem, grade how well eight of these solutions would fare against a criteria of our choosing, and an action plan that best solves the underlying problem. This may seem like a lot, but let’s just say that we did it all, to near perfectness. I was amazed at how well we did. We just found out today that we are going on to regional (we either got first or second place, but since the actual competition was postponed due to the snowy weather, we won’t find out until the awards ceremony of the new date for that competition). Needless to say, I am thrilled and very excited to kick some tail at regional and move on to state!
