Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • John

    NITARP is a phenomenal opportunity. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done in terms of professional development. It’s fun working with teams from across the county.

  • Kate

    Being there with my students was the most amazingly cool experience. I saw my two guys explode in their willingness to ask questions and express an opinion.

  • Edwards

    The science part of our project was overwhelming to me at first. [...]Since then I have learned an incredible amount from my mentor teacher, mentor scientists and my group members.
