The Student Design Summit is a complementary component of the Detroit Cultural Center Planning Initiative (CCPI) that engages students in contemporary design practice and community involvement. Each Design Summit is accompanied by a Student Design Competition to give high school and university students in the State of Michigan an opportunity to re-conceptualize spaces in need of innovative design solutions. Students work together in teams and are provided with resources, networked with professionals, and use the competition to elevate their skills and develop new ones. The Summit also includes talks with design professionals and guidance on masterplan development.
