Future Problem Solving 2010

After six months of hard work on three consecutive practice problems, the 5th – 8th graders held their breath while they waited for feedback on the 3rd problem: orphaned children. It had been a tough job to apply all six creative problem solving steps in just two hours with no teacher help. The teams had to wait three weeks before the news finally arrived. And arrive it did! Nine teams received an invitation to the State Bowl at Berea High School on April 23-24. They are now busy preparing on the topic of Food Distribution. (We welcome anyone who can speak on any angle of this topic.) The teams are:

Intermediate Division
LuLu, Munim, Ben, Grant, Nathan, Carlf, Shawki, Nardine, Zaeem, Deepak, Clare, Mahmoud
Susmita, Marla, Sunny, Hannah, Trevor, Alexander, Prithivi, Hassan, Nicholas, Sarah, Abhijeet, Alex
