Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Denise

    I did not anticipate being so challenged in the NITARP research. I have learned more in [my first] two weeks just getting ready to start working with the data.

  • Stalnaker.olivia

    This experience was life changing! It has changed the way I teach everything, not just astronomy.

  • Mike
