Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Oconnor

    Real astronomy isn’t just looking through telescopes with the naked eye anymore. It is really being accurate and precise and a lot of computer mathematics.

  • Mark

    I kept wishing this program had been available when I was a kid. Wanting to be a scientist, I had no role model or support and never pursued it.

  • Powers

    Our students, over the past few years since I participated in NITARP, have directly benefited from my being accepted into the program. You are a great asset and I appreciate all that you do!
