As a high school student in the early 70's I was allowed batch access to the Naval Postgraduate School 360/67 as part of an Explorer scouting program. On the first day, I was shown how to use the 029 keypunch (in itself an amazing machine), then the hot card reader, how to wait for your 1403 printouts, and where I could get some IBM self-guided tutorials to learn FORTRAN. I could come and go as I pleased. It was like being transported to another dimension, and I was hooked on programming for life. I still program almost every day.
