Creative Problem Solving Workshop @ IC

Explore innovative means of creative action through individual style.
 
Offered by Center for Creative Learning LLC through FPSPI Graduate Credit Available through University of Wisconsin La Crosse - additional registration and fee required through UWL.  

Dates:  4 June 2018 - 6 June 2018

Perhaps you’ve heard that there’s more to brainstorming than just brainstorming?  The Center for Creative Learning’s 3-day workshop will explore the facets of Creative Problem Solving and the tools for generating ideas and focusing on best solutions.  When is the right time to generate solutions?  When is the right time to frame the problem?  When should action start?  Creative Problem Solving’s flexible framework models a process that can be added to anyone’s toolbox of learning and transfer into real skills whether in the classroom or beyond the classroom walls.  Participants will learn the framework by solving a group problem guided by expert presenters.

Student Newsletter

Please read and share Volume 2 of the MNFPSP Student Newsletter -- by MNFPSP Students, for MNFPSP Students! 

One of the responsibilities of our Student Board Representatives is a student newsletter. This time, it's filled with news and tips to help students get ready for the State Competition.

Many thanks to Allison, who kept this project rolling by formatting and being involved in much of the writing, to Danielle for the excellent research tips, and to Avni and Spencer for editing.
