Problem finding is the creative ability to define or identify a problem. The process involves consideration of alternative views or definitions of a problem that are generated and selected for further consideration. Problem finding requires individuals to set objectives, define purposes, decide what is interesting, and ultimately decide what they want to study.

My former science research student, Drew, is a cadet in the Air Force Academy. He recently made a skydiving splash, landing in the Orange Bowl. See him below. Thanks to his Dad, Fred for sharing with me. Drew was a talented young scientist, winning the Science Horizons Science Fair and the Science Horizons Science Symposium. He earned a trip to the International Science and Engineering Fair in 2006 and the National Junior Science and Humanities Symposium in 2007. As a teacher, it is always exciting to see where my students land next.
