I was surprised [during the summer visit] with the speed with which my students increased their proficiency with the tools we are using -- especially Python programming! My students acted very independently and hardly ever needed me to suggest something for them to do next; many times they were already anticipating the next tasks and trying to figure out how to do it!
The experience made a huge impression on [my students] and that was food for my soul.
Seeing and hearing about scientists at work, on different projects, brought to life the reality of scientists doing scientific work.
