Final Product

For your culminating assignment, I am asking you to take a step along the path linking your origin problem to your proposed destination.

This could be any or the following:

• A proposal for foundation or government funding to implement the approach you have selected in an affected community,
• An op-ed or blog post making the case for your approach to the public or policymakers,
• a policy position paper, or a grant proposal for research funds.

You could also implement a component of your proposed approach by:

• Conducting a spatial data analysis
• Constructing a visually-appealing report or pamphlet to be shared with community members,
• Recording and editing a podcast episode making the case for your approach, making a set of maps, an interactive data visualization,
• Or something else that works for your problem.

It is OK for the final product to be a work-in-progress at the end of the term. I would far prefer to see you be ambitious and start something you can continue to carry forward than to narrow your ambitions to meet an end-of-term deadline.
