Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Edwards

    It was wonderful to see the students from last year presenting their posters and talking with astronomers and teachers from all over the world.

  • Senson

    NITARP has been the best experience I have ever had for my personal and professional development as an astronomy educator.

  • Piper

    [from one of Ms. Piper's students, 4 years after NITARP:] I felt like I should tell you about my current trajectory because without you and our work with NITARP, I don't know where I'd be headed right now!
