CHAPTER TWELVE

The End (of the Beginning)

Today’s your day. Present/submit your final project. You’ve worked so hard to get to this point and we just know it’s going to be amazing.

Watch your final chapter below

See that progress bar below?!

100%

Yes. That one. It says 100% complete. Congratulations! It’s been a journey. And it wasn’t easy. But you did it. We hope, even if you didn’t love this class, that we made you think and reminded you of what’s possible when you choose to act and be brave. 

Speaking of being brave, how about taking your idea further?

Each of you has come up with a better idea for balancing people and nature through the lens of your course. But one of you has come up with the best idea. And it deserves our attention.

Submit your final project to Nature Labs!

The best project each year will be the focus of the next Nature Labs Inquiry Media. We'll spend the time exploring your idea with leading Canadians - including you - to see what it might take to make your vision a reality. The story will be featured across all courses in Nature Labs and help inspire thousands of your peers to re-imagine what's possible when we try.

And keep going!

If you think your final project should be more than a classroom assignment, you're right. So keep going! Let this be the start of something - a stepping stone to a scholarship, a building block for your career, a first step towards the change you envision.

1. Explore the numerous resources that exist to help you keep building your idea forward.

2. Submit your final project to Nature Labs and we'll create a national registry of the best ideas.

We can't lose great ideas and we hope by creating a searchable database, decision-makers and innovators and rising leaders can learn from your wisdom and, maybe just maybe, ask for your help in bringing forward your idea.

Thank you!We can't wait to see what you'll do next.
