Having scientists explain their research and bringing it down to my level was very interesting and I learned so much!
This experience was life changing! It has changed the way I teach everything, not just astronomy.
I rarely get out among other teachers in the same field as I am, with similar interest and motivations, and even less often do I have time to be in the company of professional scientists to see and hear what they are doing, how it is being done, what technologies are being used, etc. Without this type of program to get me to a meeting like the AAS I would never be able to put all of this together.
