How it works

I've been involved in many professional development activities and this is by far the best one I've ever done

Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Merrill

    I felt as if I was on a treasure hunt to identify new methods of confirming redshift values for our candidate cluster members.

  • Debbie

    While a lot of astronomy is done by computer, nothing compares to having a human look over the data.

  • Denise

    Over all, the NITARP experience was nothing I had ever experienced before as a teacher. The research was very interesting and challenging at the same time.
