'''Future Problem Solving Program International''' ('''FPSPI'''), originally known as '''Future Problem Solving Program''' ('''FPSP'''), and often abbreviated to '''FPS''', is a non-profit educational program that organizes academic competitions in which students apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills to hypothetical future situations. The program looks at current technological, geopolitical, and societal trends and projects those trends 20–30 years into the future in order to train students to develop solutions to the challenges they may face as adults.
