Summer Schools
"The most rewarding part of this experience was the field trips and cultural immersions. Learning about the subject in class was already interesting, but being able to go out and see what technologies are being used brings another level of understanding. Being able to see, touch, and experiment with the actual material solidified my learning, but also increased my interest." -- Xavier, THM Summer School 2024
