Traditionally, the day before the conference, NOMA members complete a construction project to be left as a legacy in the host city.This year, the legacy project will be new mobile demonstration units for <a href="http://www.warmtraining.org/" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">W.A.R.M.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>STUDENT DESIGN COMPETITION:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Through the design competition entitled, “Urban [space] US12... Idea Center,” NOMA is seeking ideas for the invigoration and infusion of community-led design and economic development for urban spaces in Southwest Detroit. The design problem requires in-depth research of historical site conditions as well as an understanding of the current social, cultural, economic, and physical space conditions found in this unique community. Designers must also consider the entrepreneurial spirit of the community's citizens and envision solutions that will support sustained and enhanced economic development in the area. Successful planning and architectural design solutions will address how the identity and physical spaces of the city/neighborhood may be reinvented to optimally leverage Michigan Avenue’s Corktown District. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Competition brief, site drawings and diagrams, and Corktown's neighborhood profile and Master Plan can be download at <a href="http://noma.net/EventsPrograms/events_2012conference.aspx">http://noma.net/EventsPrograms/events_2012conference.aspx</a>. Friday, October 12, 2012 is the deadline for submissions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>OPPORTUNITIES TO EXHIBIT AND SPONSOR:</b></span><br />

The competition challenges students eight to 17 to solve real world problems by creating unique designs out of LEGO(R) bricks.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">The organization's website says with Battle of the Bricks (</span><a href="http://www.battlebricks.org/">http://www.battlebricks.org</a>)<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">, "we are working to launch the first-of-its-kind national competitive initiative incorporating engineering, design, architecture and other scientific principles for young Black and Hispanic students, which will showcase and cultivate the talents of the top young students who represent the future in the fields of science and math. Overall, we want to inspire and nurture curiosity and core scientific skill-sets in those who are most underrepresented in our country's science professions."</span></span><br />

Find out during the next round of meetings with the Detroit Works Project.<br />Come see what’s impacting neighborhoods across the city and give us ideas and information on what you’re already doing to make Detroit work. And, we’ll begin to give you some of the thoughts being discussed to help get us moving in the right direction – both short and long term.<br />If we all understand the issues and act together we can find the answers for the city.<br />The conversation topics will be the same for each meeting.
