Dalton’s High School competitors earned some very exciting outcomes based on their Global Issues Problem Solving action plans on the topic of Autonomous Transportation during the New York State Bowl. A huge thanks to seniors Cooper Hartog, Toma Pojarliev, and Anya Levin, who were this year’s student leaders of the club, and also to Mirabelle Zhang ‘24 for being such a thoughtful participant in FPS throughout her time at Dalton. We are extremely proud of all the incredible work completed by each of the Future Problem Solvers club members this year. 

 

All students who participated in the club applied the six-step problem-solving method to a future scenario, navigating challenges related to Autonomous Transportation. They then wrote an action plan to address the issues relevant to their specific scenario. Their written work was evaluated and scored by external judges after they competed in the state bowl. 

 

 

Qualifying individuals and teams that accept the judge’s invitation to the FPS International Conference in Bloomington, Indiana in June will tackle understanding and developing innovative solutions for this year’s topic: Air Quality.
