I will tell the story of my research group's role in the development of astronomical charge-coupled detectors (CCDs) by relating the contributions of four MIT research students to projects which we have undertaken together over the past three decades. These projects have empowered observations extending over four decades of the electromagnetic spectrum, enabling discoveries ranging from gamma-ray burst emitting collapsars at cosmological distances, to accretion-driven black holes in the Galaxy, and to exoplanets in the solar neighborhood. This story will illustrate the key contributions which student researchers can make when a novel detector technology arrives on the scene. Finally, I will also describe some of the ways in which their early education in these possibilities has impacted my students' future careers as astronomers and experimental physicists.
