It was very rewarding to be able to talk with astronomers who were willing to answer my (many) questions. Educators rarely have an opportunity to talk to professionals to hone their knowledge base once they finish school. I’m afraid I grabbed them every chance I got!
I think that more than anything else, hearing these kids talk about their work really convinced me how valuable this experience is for students.
The experience made a huge impression on [my students] and that was food for my soul.
