Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Novatne

    The experience has changed my understanding of astronomy and how it is done, but not of astronomers.

  • Laura

    I am gaining in confidence as to my ability to understand, contribute to the study, and the data we will be using.

  • Curtis

    Thanks so much for an amazing experience. NITARP has opened doors for me in many ways. It’s exposed me to real research, it’s got me thinking about ways to innovate and create real research experiences for my students, and it’s made me aware of the numerous opportunities out there for science teachers to become better at what they do.
