Our #NYFPS students will be at Indiana University Bloomington for the 2024 International Conference 🌏 to represent New York State on the world stage. We are so proud of them! Let's go Empire State! 🗽 👏

Our students work hard to prepare for their academic competitions, but the International Conference isn't all about work. It is also an opportunity for our #NYFPS 🗽 students to bond with their teammates & make new friends from around the world at #FPSIC.

As our #futureproblemsolvers make final preparations for IC, we are reminded that our students & Advisors work hard to master their creative problem solving skills. It involved research, analysis, and practice. #NYFPS students work on multiple rounds to hone their skills.

Community Problem Solving (CmPS) students identify and tackle an issue within their local communities. This #NYFPS CmPS team built a little library to improve access to books and encourage reading within their local school community.

One of the most exciting events at the International Conference 🌏 is the Flag Ceremony. It is a moment where everyone can see the states & countries around the world that work on solving for a better future together. Always so proud of our students who rep NY on stage! 🗽 📣

Community Problem Solving (CmPS) students identify and tackle an issue within their local communities. This #NYFPS CmPS team focused on protecting local wildlife from littering.

#FPSIC is only 1 week away! The excitement is building. Our #NYFPS students are excited to meet their peers from across the US & world. Many of our teams have made new friends at IC with teams from other countries including Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, & more.

Sample Underlying Problem (UP): "Since the Mars Expedition miners can only return to Earth for 7 days every 2 months, how might we assist them to overcome inevitable homesickness so that they are able to settle into their new environment more quickly in 2070 and beyond?"

The International Conference is an opportunity for our #futureproblemsolvers to explore and make new experiences. We look forward to cheering on our New York 🗽representatives at #fpsic 2024 next week!
