"I learned to share my ideas working in a group. I learned more about entrepreneurship. I learned more about mobility, because that's kind

of what we're about."

"So we're building a city that we would want our kids to grow up in. We see the issues that we have in the city and we're going to build toward that and make an improvement. I'd like to stay if I could, the place where I grew up in."

"Just being able to create freely without boundaries makes this mobility lab worth it. I get to use new technology I would never dream of using and learn new ways to create and collaborate with others to make solutions to problems that Detroit is facing

right now.​"
