Chicago Mobile Makerspace JEDI Case Study

Building and sustainability professionals and community activists can sign up to explore a case study on the Chicago Mobile Makerspace, a nonprofit organization that offers youth design-thinking and problem-solving workshops in Chicago communities. The design project was selected through a national 2020 NOMA-NAACP-SEED Awards program that was juried by twelve nationally recognized activists, educators and practitioners of JEDI in design. 

After learning about the Chicago Mobile Marketplace directly from project designers and team members, attend an optional afternoon SEED training and certification session from 2 - 5:30 PM ET. Each JEDI session is worth 2.5 AIA-CES HSW Learning Units.

The series will continue once a month through September 2021. Register for any individual session or more. Only one SEED session is required for SEED certification.

Scholarships available upon request. For more information, contact bbell@ncsu.edu or slee@naacpnet.org
