End to end connection using 1 layer 2 switch and 2 layer 3 switches using an EtherChannel

Good day everyone. I am a University student in Namibia currently studying networking. We have been thrown into the deep end with a class exercise and I need some assistance. I will attach an image below of my network in Packet Tracer. The goal is to have end to end connectivity. I need to be able to ping the switch all the way on the right using the PC all the way on the left. There is a VLAN being used on the layer 2 switch as the IP address for the port-channel. The switch in the middle has a layer 3 port-channel with its own IP address too. I can ping from the PC to the layer 2 switch as well as all interfaces of the switch in the middle. However I cannot ping from the PC to the interface on the last switch. What comes to mind is there has to be a default gateway somewhere, I assume on the middle switch. I've tried configuring a static route on the middle switch but no luck either, I may have done it wrong. This topic is new to me and any help for how I can accomplish end to end activity will be helpful. I will attach an image. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

The 3650-24PS switch on far right needs a static route to get to 10.0.0.0 network. Something like this

ip route 10.0.0.0 <mask> 172.0.0.1
