Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Stalnaker.olivia

    NITARP has transformed my life and the way I teach, so it's difficult to find anything that has NOT been influenced by this experience!

  • Piper

    This past year was a very intense NITARP experience for me, stretching my intellectual and technological skills beyond their limits while learning to be a mentor teacher and of course transferring as much of this experience to my students as possible.

  • Palmer

    This experience has reinforced to me the importance of learning science by doing science.
