 <p>In June, at the outset in the program, the fellows quickly learned that they had large obstacles ahead. Their projects were complex as the existing software stack was large and the solutions challenging to implement. However, they were able to adapt to these hurdles with the help of their mentors. The program fostered an environment of collaboration and learning between the fellows and their mentors, and included weekly regular check-ins between mentors and fellows, with weekly one-on-one discussions. There were also weekly educational sessions that ranged from GitHub practices to cyberinfrastructure training. “I thought that the best part of the educational sessions was the opportunity to interact with CHTC staff and ask questions about various computing topics. I think everybody has their own way of thinking about things when it comes to CS (computer science), and getting to hear from CHTC staff was a really nice way to be exposed to some of those different perspectives,” <a href="https://chtc.cs.wisc.edu/fellowships/reports/2024/kristina-zhao">Kristina Zhao</a>, a summer 2024 fellow, commented.</p>
