Think Tank

Tuesdays beginning September 23rd from 2:45 to 4:00 in room 173

Sponsor: Mrs. Figueroa

    557- 4500 x1173

Todays students are tommorows problem solvers! In this problem-solving competition, middle school students are given the opportunity to simulate a real-life think tank, where the world's problems are solved. Each year an issue is selected and students delve into all sides of the topic through in-depth research. Two-person teams are formed from each middle school, and these teams are paired with teams from other schools to simulate a realistic work environment. Participants use the results of their research to complete a flow chart using specific problem-solving techniques, and then crete a public service announcement which will promote their solution; using a slogan and visual that best represents their ideas. See Mrs. Figueroa for more details.
