Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Odden

    I met a lot of people over the course of [my first AAS]. So many people were interested in chatting, especially with a high school physics teacher!

  • Odden

    I didn’t know just how much data is publicly available. Anyone can do astronomy – you just need to come up with a question and figure out how to use the archives.

  • Urbanowski

    Your ongoing mentorship and availability is unbelievably valuable to me and my kids; NITARP is like a new chapter in my professional life.
