From March 22^nd to 24^th, five students from grades 7-8 of Shanghai High School International Division went to Kunshan to participate in the Future Problem Solving Program International (FPSPI). This is the second round of the China-wide competition. On the first day of the competition, students wrote down potential problems they have identified and plans to resolve them in the problem resolution manual within 2.5 hours. The manual needed to be completed on the first day of the competition. The group had one night to organize the final solution they had written so they could perform it the following day. The next day, the SHSID competitors were prepared and completed the performance successfully. During the awards ceremony on the third day, students were awarded first prize in the FPSPI exhibition. Congratulations to all of them!
