Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Deveau

    It was refreshing to learn that NASA wants scientists to get/stay in communication with the public, including schools, regarding the science being done. Engagements translates to representation and support from a grassroots mindset.

    I believe having students work with other students from other schools has much value.

  • Curtis

    The NITARP experience is truly phenomenal, and our scientist was wonderful to work with – never condescending and always very clear in his explanations.
