The Georgia FPSP celebrates its 26th Anniversary in 2000. Teams of students, in grades K - 12, address complex scientific and social problems of concern today and in the future. Each year five problem topics are chosen for which the students work to find the solution. With assistance from adult coaches, students gather information, develop problem-solving and thinking skills, and improve communication skills. The Scenario Writing Component offers students opportunities to expand on problem and solution ideas.
Competitive entries are futuristic short stories written on any of the topics of the year.
The Visual Arts Component provides students another outlet for expressing their creative solutions to the topics. The Videotape Presentations Component encourages students to communicate their ideas about the topics in videotaped dramatizations, commercials, news features, etc. The academic-year program for the Georgia FPSP culminates with the State Bowl, held in April of each year. Schools and FPSP teams are encouraged to submit a bid for hosting the Bowl. This can be done either by requesting a bid form from the Torrance Center, or by submitting an on-line proposal .
