Minnesota Future Problem Solving Program Regional Competition
During the last week of January, more than 200 teams competed at four different regional competitions vying
for 75 state invitation slots. Each school that competed will be well represented at the Minnesota Future
Problem Solving Program State Competition and 35th Anniversary on March 21 at the Centennial Middle
School in Lino Lakes.
The state competition will begin at 7:55 a.m. with an opening presentation, followed by the written competition.
The Presentation of Action Plans first round competition, will begin at 1 p.m. The final round will begin at 3:15
p.m. The public is welcome to these two events and are also invited to join us at 6:30 p.m. for our special
anniversary program and awards at 7 p.m.
Special guests of the day include Marianne Solomon, International Future Problem Solving Program director
and Jack Pearson, songwriter, storyteller and one-man-band. Pearson has a surprise for our students and will be
leading two "Creative Conversations with Jack.” One at 8:45 a.m. and the second one at 2:15 p.m. Both guests
will attend the opening, anniversary program and awards ceremony.
Thirty junior teams (grades 4-6,) 25 middle teams (grades 7-9,) 15 senior teams (grades 10-12,) and five junior
novice teams will compete in the Global Issues Problem Solving component, plus 25 students in the individual
competition. Of these 75 teams, six teams (two from each division), will earn an invitation to the International
Competition June 11-14, in Ames, Iowa.
This year we're excited to announce that nine Community Problem Solving teams and one individual will
display their projects and compete for international competition participation. One from each division will be
invited to compete internationally.
Congratulations to all of our state competitors and best wishes as you prepare for the competition!
