Over the weekend Bellevue School District students competed at the 2016 International Conference in Lansing, Michigan. There were students from more than 30 states and 15 countries also competing at the event.
To qualify for the International Conference, students in grades 4-12 were challenged to devise solutions for problems related to “Global Workplace” in the Washington Future Problem Solving (FPS) State Bowl in Stanwood.
The FPS program stimulates critical and creative thinking skills, encourages students to develop a vision for the future and prepares students for leadership roles.
