    This experience has forced me to look at something new and has inspired me to enrich and improve my classes.

  • Doyle

    The experience has and will continue to help me develop more effective uses of NASA/JPL resources for me and to promote professional development.

  • Hall

    The most interesting thing was the total experience of working with such amazing professional astronomers doing real science. I really did not know what to expect. The experience did exceed, in a positive way, all my imaginations.
