Feedback: I wish I had had more time to talk to other participants, to digest and process our experiences. Most interesting/productive components: museum visits, interactive experiences with other participants, group projects. Suggestions: Somehow not cramming so much information into so little time! It was a bit like drinking from a fire hydrant without a moment to catch my breath. I don't know if that can be done, though, I wouldn't want to sacrifice any of the experiences.
