CephC-LABS (Looking For Baby Stars): continuing a study of the star-forming region Ceph C, exending into the longest wavelength data available.
I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to participate in the NITARP program for the past year. I gained experience that I never thought I would be capable of, gained many new resources, and learned more that I ever expected. It has been a very unique and productive experience and I am proud of both the scientific research we accomplished and the educational aspects that were brought to our school systems.
I'm also here with other educators, rubbing shoulders with them, seeing how they teach things, how they frame things, like what their mindset is. I keep opening my syllabus for the fall and adding things to it based on whatever we talked about here.
Always impresses me how well a ‘kid’ can perform if supported and presented with a challenge that interests them.
