Individual FPS
Individual Future Problem Solving is an FPS Component Event, and not part of Governor’s Cup.
In Individual FPS one student works through the FPS process. Individuals generate 8 challenges in Step 1, and 8 solution ideas in Step 3. Steps 2, 4, 5 and 6 are exactly the same as the team competition. Participants have two hours to complete a booklet.

Evaluation
Booklets are evaluated after State Finals by FPS coaches, evaluators and trainers. Booklets are emailed to the participating schools’ coaches to be given to the evaluator listed on the registration form.
Scored booklets must be returned within two weeks so that the announcement of awards can be made as soon as possible. Students advancing to the international level of competition need as much time as possible to prepare for the next competition in June.

- 1-3 students competing: 1 evaluator per division
- 4-6 students competing: 2 evaluators per division
- 7-10 students competing: 3 evaluators per division
