The experience has changed my understanding of astronomy and how it is done, but not of astronomers.
There are very few of us that teach astronomy in our county, so I'd really like to improve the astronomy program in the county.
Our lead astronomer, Luisa Rebull, has a very energetic style and pushes her team to the limits. Our group of teachers put in many hours each week for a full year to learn the topic or skill at hand followed by a weekly teleconference. The pressure was on and I loved it!
