It is always great to meet fellow science/math enthusiasts and nerd over every little thing which the rest of the world cannot relate to. Somewhat like a  group of Sheldon Coopers. This summer school was a means to us meeting all these amazing and inspiring people. From fellow participants to the lecturers, to the PhD students, to organizers and everyone else involved in brining this to life, it was a wonderful experience. Hope to cross paths with all these people someday and look back at these days as "how it all began".

If I end up doing a PhD, I might just blame it on the 15 days I spent in TIFR sitting by the sea, sipping on leaking cups of coffee in the peak of Mumbai monsoons. (Which I think was the purpose of the course, so kudos to the success).

All the best to everyone for all they are about to achieve!

As the subject above says, it is so difficult to describe the overall experience, the summer school has been quite a lot fun and filled with knowledge that words can never do justice to it.
But since this place has to have feedbacks so the most amazing experience I had was with the organizers, because it was so effectively organized that discomfort was never felt, be it the stay, lectures or food, or any sort of thing. And also interacting with them was fun, never felt like I interacted with professors/ post-docs/etc, unlike the feels we get in other universities while interacting with professors.
Apart from it, everything was very well taught and we got a chance to have in-depth knowledge of things we have only heard of or just knew the basics of.
The best-arranged program I've ever been to. And the best set of 15 days filled with memories that I'm already missing since being back here! :')

I really like to thank the organizers for setting up such a wonderful program, everything was taken care of really well. I got to explore new topics which I didn't in my regular curriculum, which was actually the intention to apply, so goal accomplished. Got real time insights about how things go, from the workshops and mentoring sessions arranged, which will definitely be helpful in taking informed decisions about future.

Few things I enjoyed the most during the program:

1. Mentoring sessions - I think some parts of the dilemma regarding taking up research as a career got resolved for most of us during these sessions
2. Interaction with Professors - it really made us want to ask more questions in whatever we were taught and think more
3. Fun with friends - trips to different places in Mumbai, sea-side chats and late night chai :)

Apart from the above, the lecture sessions - all of which were informative and some absolutely challenging!

Happy to have been a part of this wonderfully organized program. Heartfelt thanks to the organizers.

This program was the most well organized program I have attended. The lectures as well as the discussions with faculty and students during the breaks were amazing. Definitely would recommend to future students. One of the things I really liked about this program was the academic diversity of the students discussing with students who had an academic background that was different from mine was very enlightening. And of course it was wonderful to interact with all the other people we got the opportunity to meet while we were at TIFR. Also looking at the displayed artworks was one of the best perks.
Thank you for having us here.
It was wonderful meeting you all

It was the best fifteen days of the year. I met a lot of people, learnt a lot, created memories and had fun. More importantly the program was helpful.
Thank you for everything.

Happy to be a part of TIFR STCS Vigyan Vidushi Program. The lectures and facilities helped me to gain newer and wider perspective on Computer Science and helped me to know how much opportunities are there for research. One of best arranged program I've ever attended. Happy to make an amazing set of friends and cheers to all the colorful memories

This experience in TIFR is the starting of my new journey as a confident and daring woman. All the expectations i had with this programme was fulfilled. I went there with so many thoughts and problems about my career and came back with a clear vision. The professors are so so cool and polite, the lectures and mentoring sessions were just so amazing. It felt so good to be among such intelligent people for a fortnight.  I also made some amazing friends. It was an amazing journey that made me even more confident and take any challenge in my life.

My first ever summer school was so much more than expected.Moreover it made me miss home less for once after such a long time.I will surely encourage all my friends and juniors to attend this. All the new connections I made with the professors, mentors, scholars, other participants will surely stay with me for the rest of my life. Not only the people but the entire campus and the seaside were another level. I wish I can make my dream of studying at TIFR come true someday.

Amazing experience that involved everything from study with some very interesting and excelling tutors to late night seaside sessions with some great set of friends and a lot of fun.
Heartiest thanks to TIFR Mumbai for conducting this program with such an ease and taking care of all the meticulous details about literally everything.
Wish I could be a part of lot more at TIFR.
Thankyou

The one word which describes my entire feeling about the STCS VV.
Thank you organisers for creating such a wonderful fun and learning experience.
The campus, people friends I got during this stay and the sea side will always be close to my heart.
I'll make sure to come back to this place to pursue my quest for science.

Thank you for having me here! It was really a great experience to interact with everyone out here, especially the sessions were really informative and I enjoyed a lot! Also

This program was a good learning experience. The classes were many-a-times intense and challenging, but we got through most of it with the instructors' help. The mentoring sessions and guest lectues were helpful, informative and encouraging. All in all, this event has given me a lot of food for thought and has helped me interact with different people. It has given me a few good friends too :)
Thank you for organizing it so well!

Thank you all for coming. Please feel free to mail us any constructive criticism, this program will hopefully be conducted many times going forward, and we hope to improve each time.

* Especially since, due to global warming and rising sea levels, most harbours will be underwater soon enough, so the relative safety of harbours is a mirage. Also since our roads will soon be submerged, boats and ships will be put to increasing use, so the utility vs safety dilemma if you are a ship or a boat is going to be severely skewed in any case. My suggestion, for all non-boats and -ships, would be to learn how to swim.

I hope you had a fun-filled 2 weeks at TIFR and benefited from the programme. I couldn't meet you all personally, but you have my phone number. Feel free to contact me anytime in the future :-). I wish you all the best!

I had a wonderful experience mentoring students from diverse backgrounds. Hope they found the programme useful and got a sneak peek of what entails research in Computer Science. It is gratifying to note that so many young women want to take up Science as a career.

Thanks to the organizers for giving me this opportunity. My best wishes to all the participants.
