# Develop an elaborated Action Plan based on the highest-ranking solution.
The original Future Problem Solving competition—now known as '''Global Issues Problem Solving''' (GIPS)—evaluates students' competency in using this problem-solving process in the context of a fictional future situation. Students in the GIPS competition are grouped into grade level ranges and may compete as individuals or as teams of four. Prior to each competition event, FPSPI announces the competition topic (such as "Artificial Intelligence" or "Oceans") and provides a list of suggested readings. Students spend 1–2 months researching the topic with an eye to potential future challenges and solutions. At the beginning of the competition, students are given a Future Scene (FS), a one- to two-page document that describes the hypothetical future situation having to do with the pre-announced topic. Competitors then proceed according to the six-step process. Students are graded on their correct application of the process and on their use of cited research and creative originality.
FPSPI later developed additional programs that make use of the six-step problem-solving process, or that otherwise train students in creative critical thinking. In the '''Community Problem Solving''' (CmPS) competition, students are evaluated on how well they apply the process to present-day problems in their own community. The '''Action-based Problem Solving''' (AbPS) program adapts the process for classroom use. In the '''Scenario Writing''' competition, students write a short story, set at least 20 years in the future, based on one of the GIPS competition topics. The '''Scenario Performance''' component is similar but is geared toward students who prefer telling stories through oral communication. Finally, students can also compete in the '''Presentation of Action Plan''' competition. After completing the six-step process in two hours, students then immediately begin work on a second competition called '''"Presentation of Action Plan"''' in which they illustrate their final solution by preparing and performing a skit.

I used to compete in Future Problem Solving Scenario Writing, a competition where you project a world problem into the future as a science fiction short story. I won first place internationally for my scenario on toxic waste in seventh grade [in 1993], so that was probably the beginning [of what led me to become a screenwriter].}}</ref> Academy Award-nominated screenwriter
