17. Some Feedback 21 June 2011S. Goldfarb17 “My students had problems understanding the content but they were excited anyway because they talked to scientists on the other side of the world. They also asked questions about dark matter (triggered by Steve question). So, overall we kindle interest in science and this is really positive! Plus, they talk and joke about particles, this means they know what they are talking about.” Christina (Teacher from William Floyd High School) “Thanks Steve. It is a very neat opportunity for our students. I appreciate you providing the window. Jon is a talented teacher with very high expectations for his students. I think he had fun as well.” Jeff Eberwein (Teacher from Marshfield High School)

19. Some Feedback 21 June 2011S. Goldfarb19 “Thank you very much for the Virtual Control Room tour and interaction last night. We have had our new Centre's first workshop this week, and had the official opening yesterday. Last night was a celebration of this beginning. Our centre brings together experimentalists and theorists, the latter group having no experience with what goes on at the heart of ATLAS operations. For theorists and administrators too, your virtual tour was particularly successful and greatly appreciated. Thanks for this effort. Great results..” Geoffrey Taylor (ATLAS Physicist, Melbourne)
