Where do I begin?

Potential ideas can come from many places

  • Topics in class that pique your interest - jot them down
  • Read magazines in the subjects you are interested in
  • Browse through books
  • Read other examples of PIPs
  • Talk to your teachers and friends about your ideas
  • Talk to past students who have been through the process
  • Talk to your librarians about your ideas. They may know what will be 'findable' and what isn't.
