'''Future Problem Solving Program International''' (FPSPI) 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. FPSPI was founded by creativity researcher [[Ellis Paul Torrance]] in 1974.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fpspi.org/what-is-fpspi/|title=What is FPSPI?|access-date=2019-02-23}}</ref> Today, thousands of students from over a dozen countries participate in the program each year. Most FPSPI components are open to students who are in the equivalent of the [[Education in the United States#Educational stages|U.S. grade level]] range of 4 through 12.
