On Friday 5 June our students who qualified for the Future Problem Solving International Competition participated in the Virtual International Finals against students across the globe via a 3D Virtual Platform. The topic of study was Terraforming and with 10 weeks of committed training for the competition, they were well-prepared to take on the other teams. Our team did exceptionally well in their evaluations and placed 15^th globally out of the 70 teams in their division.

Below are some comments from the three rounds of evaluations:

“Well done on a high-quality booklet. You have incorporated some great ideas and a lot of very sensible thinking. Excellent Action Plan. Prior research was evident.”

“I can really tell you are science students!  Wow, the technical details and vocabulary are excellent.  You do explain your idea fully, and it is interesting to ponder.”

“Fantastic Action Plan. This is a great solution idea, very creative & futuristic. This clearly addressed your Underlying Problem and is very detailed with clear reference back to your criteria from Step 4.”

Well done! You have been working very hard which is a true example of your determination and perseverance!
