The 2019 SoCal NOMA Project Pipeline Architecture & Engineering Summer Camp put on by the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) included students between the ages of 10 and 16, and took place on three consecutive Saturdays in July, according to the Los Angeles Sentinel. 

“Every year, we try to choose an exciting project that’s going on in the community at a place in the community that’s highly visible, that is accessible to our campers and that is in a community that they all live in,” said the camp's director, Eletrice Harris. This year, the students were tasked with creating "designs for the upcoming streetscape project, Destination Crenshaw, a 1.3-mile open-air museum that will celebrate and revitalize the art, culture, and spirit of Black Los Angeles."

Moreover, Professor Nina Briggs, who was a guest speaker at the camp, emphasized the importance of "designing for people," a valuable lesson for young aspiring practitioners. In the long run, NOMA's goal in this program is to provide "an early introduction to the topic, a clear path to success in the field, and the opportunity to see themselves and their communities reflected in a profession that quite literally builds the world around us," according to the Los Angeles Sentinel.
