Our 2015 Caltech/Pomona ZTF Summer Undergraduate Institute brought together 14 undergrads from across the earth to have an intensive experience learning about time-domain astronomy, astronomical instrumentation, data analysis with Python and other software, adaptive optics, and CCD sensors. During the Institute, students toured Caltech instrument labs, observed with the Mt. Wilson 60″ telescope, heard a talk by Sean Carroll about the Higgs Boson at the Atheneum, visited Pomona’s adaptive optics lab, had clinics on adaptive optics, Swift GRB followup, Python image processing, and observed with Pomona’s Brackett Observatory!
