About us
How, not what, to think
For nearly forty years, the Future Problem Solving program in Minnesota has been teaching students how to think — a skillset independent of any particular domain knowledge, experience, or something something something.
This thinking process is accomplished through a number of different programs.

Testimonials
I’ve used these skills in every facet of every job I’ve ever had, and continue to employ them on a daily basis. They’re foundational to my capacities as a problem-solver and troubleshooter.
Nathan Duffy
Alum, Volunteer, Board Member, Board Chair
Through FPS I have explored many interesting topics, learned how to think critically and futuristically, with no limits.
I have met so many amazing people through the program. As a student ambassador, I gained useful insight on how the program runs, and learned how to be a better leader.

I’ve been a part of FPS for seven years and during that time I have participated in Scenario/Creative Writing and Visual Arts, learning how to solve problems and apply the six-step problem solving process through narrative writing and a variety of artistic mediums.
