"The Catapult program’s hands-on, experiential approach helps students marry an interest in technology with real-world experience. It is a great intersection of education and workforce development, especially given Catapult’s focus on opportunities in the Indiana communities it serves. It is critical for Indiana’s future development that bright, talented students understand what companies and careers are in their backyard."
