These teams worked on their own and presented posters at the 2019 Winter AAS.
The best thing [of the Caltech trip] was working with the other participants and making progress as a team. My students were engaged and willing to be challenged.
Of all the professional development programs in which I have been involved, NITARP continues to rank among the top few. The opportunity to work with a world-class astronomer and alongside teachers and students across the country on a real research project is amazing!
This experience has completely changed my once shallow view of astronomy and astronomers.
