"A great chance to meet students from other courses and other colleges. It was interesting to see their approaches to the problem and to learn from them. It was also great to chat to the mentor as he taught us a lot."

"Interesting and relevant range of projects available, with variety of skills/abilities catered for."

"It offered an opportunity to study problems in a relatively independent environment."

"The free lunch and coffee were really appreciated! The best part was the opportunity to do the problems our own way with programming etc, playing to our own skill set."
