Burroughs student is a problem solver

NORTHWEST DISTRICT -- A John Burroughs High School freshman has

earned an invitation to an international problem-solving competition

after finishing first in a state event.

Joel Newman won his division at the California Future Problem

Solving Program on Saturday at Luther Burbank Middle School.

A total of 30 local middle and high school students competed

individually or as part of a team. A Luther Burbank team finished

second in the competition, during which participants were given a

future scenario to familiarize themselves with and then asked to

formulate solutions, organizers said.

Newman advances to an international competition in June in

Connecticut.
