How to Begin
Generate ideas from classroom discussions, local issues, literature, local newspapers, agencies, magazines, and churches as well as from the students themselves. Interview community members for ideas about problem areas. Talk with city officials, school board members, leaders of community action groups or with experts using a video-conference from anywhere in the world that can give you relevant information about your project.
Evaluation will take place before the State Finals. Participants will attend the KAAC sponsored State Finals Award Ceremony for Strategic Problem Solving Component Events on Monday. Participants will supply a display and take part in an interview with our state evaluators.
