Future Problem Solving Piece Qualifies for State

Nardine T submitted her science fiction piece to the 2010 Future Problem Solving Scenario Writing Contest. She developed the topic of "Sensory Overload," where a child's life was turned topsy-turvy when his older brother became handicapped from a car accident. Normalcy came in the form of a neuro-implant device that allowed the older brother to regain mobility, that is, until side effects started to surface. Compounding the turmoil in the family was how the younger brother begrudged all the attention his brother was getting. This piece qualified to go on to the state level and tied for fifth piece. Congratulations!
