    Joining the Catalyst project at DTW for the first time was an unforgettable experience. It felt surreal seeing our ideas come to life in such a meaningful way. We tackled real problems - digging through data, solving issues on the fly, rushing through sprints. What we created showed me how much is possible when the right people and ideas come together.
