PILLARS

MM-O-DD has three pillars.

BRAINWORXX
Neuro-Health & the Power of Creative Expression

The focus on mental health is important and, in many ways underserved and misunderstood. The Brainworxx exhibition highlights brain wellness in design in terms of color, lighting, and focal point. It reveals the effects that nature, design, and the arts have on brain wellness and Neuro health and encourages a daily habit of expressing oneself creatively.

VOICES = PEOPLE, CHOICES = CAREERS
MM-O-DD seeks to be a relevant resource and place to unite all people through common passion for Design, the arts, and to share, enlighten, engage and educate all learners to the full breadth of creative contributions that have made to the design world.

BIODESIGN
Engineering in Nature:
Sustainable & Regenerative Design Solutions

While the environment is a hot topic these days, Biodesign digs deeper by looking at systems, function, and ideas found in nature to inspire sustainable and renerative design solutions by humans. It promotes creative expression and problem-solving by encouraging learners to look at their environment, as many answers can be found in nature.
