Dear parents, guardians, schoolteachers, and principals,
Over the past few months our students worked tirelessly and diligently as they engaged in the Global Issues Problem Solving (GIPS) enrichment program across various schools at EMSB. Throughout their engagement, student participants have actively researched and applied the six-steps of the creative problem-solving process (Dr. Torrance) as they resolved a Future Problem connected to the topics of Tourism, Urbanization, and Antarctica. Successful competitors who qualified to the Affiliate Bowl developed a plan with creative and viable solutions for a future scene on Autonomous Transportation. We would like to congratulate each competitor for their preparation and effective engagement in our program!
To celebrate their achievements, we would like to invite you to the first ever FPSPI: Canadian Affiliate Bowl, which will be hosted at LaurenHill Academy, Jr. Campus (2355 Rue Decelles) in St. Laurent on April 20 from 10AM– 5PM. This is an opportunity for you to get a sense of what your child has been learning throughout their engagement in the GIPS enrichment program while at the same time, it is a fleeting opportunity to build our community of creative problem solvers, by offering our student participants a venue to meet and interact with peers from other EMSB schools who share similar interests. Their passion and success may in turn transfer to and benefit other institutions across the province (and nation) so that other bright children can acquire the creative problem-solving skills, necessary to resolve the imminent problems of our future.
In the hope that you would like to help us make this first ever Canadian Affiliate Bowl a vibrant success, please complete the following form by March 11, 2024.
