High school students are hungry for authentic research experiences, and both high school teachers and students benefit immensely from having contact with a professional astronomer. This may seem inefficient (because it costs a lot of money to connect individuals with professionals), but it can change lives, and there are wonderful ripple effects.
By far, the most interesting part of my entire NITARP experience is the scientific method applied to the discovery process.
This year [at the AAS] was so much different than last year [because of] having a poster to share with others!
