I thought the talks and posters were great. Watching scientists talk to each other and question each other was interesting.
The best thing about the [Summer] trip was simply being on the campus at Caltech as an active participant in a science project. I still feel honored to be able to participate in this program. On top of that, to be able to extend the tendrils of my own learning to a few of my students only adds to the satisfaction I derive in being a teacher.
I think that more than anything else, hearing these kids talk about their work really convinced me how valuable this experience is for students.
