This page catalogues important resources for Map the System participants to access throughout the duration of the competition. This includes competition rules and guidebooks, the competition timeline, systems mapping resources, research design resources, presentation resources, where to find peer support, and more.
Students may take part in Map the System as part of a course or independently. Students who are taking part in Map the System outside of a course are encouraged to take advantage of the non-course syllabus to help guide them through competition milestones (coming soon!).
This page will be updated throughout the competition as resources become available from our Map the System partners. If you are having trouble accessing any of these resources, please email Leah Feor at mapthesystem@uwaterloo.ca for support.
