Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Curtis

    After this experience, I’m more aware that beyond just teaching my students good science, my focus should be to prepare them for a career in science.

  • Mark

    I kept wishing this program had been available when I was a kid. Wanting to be a scientist, I had no role model or support and never pursued it.

  • Albin

    It's really fun to do this project, not just by myself, but with a student.
