Last week, the University of Waterloo Map the System team demonstrated their systems thinking skills on a national stage. Map the System is a global pitch competition that asks students to apply systems thinking to complex social and environmental challenges. The winning team at the Waterloo campus final, made up of Calyssa Burke, Yawei (Selina) Han, Alex Petric, Janet Song Cornett-Ching, and Ayesha Zerin Tasnim, focused on understanding the root causes of the problem of housing inadequacy in Northern BC. With the support of their Professor, Simron Singh, Centre Director Paul Heidebrecht, and community partners, the team represented Waterloo at the virtual Map the System Canada finals held from May 11-13. The Kindred Credit Union Centre for Peace Advancement is championing systems thinking on the Waterloo campus, empowering students to think about important issues in new ways.
