Here's what some of our bootcamp graduates had to say

"It was really interesting to learn more about the different materials and structures of PV cells. I really enjoyed the labs where we got to speak to current PhD students, see some of their projects and the machines, and ask them questions."
"Teaching was excellent - both Ben and Henrique made the content and lessons very engaging. The topic was interesting and felt like a good mix of things this week between labs, lectures, group work. The data lesson I quite enjoyed but I can imagine it's a marmite lesson. The workshop rooms upstairs in the Hub are a great space."
