These teams worked on their own and presented posters at the 2020 Winter AAS.
[The best thing about the trip was} Doing real science. I can't say enough how much I value the opportunity NITARP has given me to be part of real astronomy research for the first time in my career. Bringing back the knowledge, the feeling of not knowing, the drive to continue to find an answer and the skills that I needed to work in a group will be so helpful to me and my students.
I already have more energy in the classroom and feel the need to pinch myself constantly.
For me, [this project] was a real partnership between scientists and educators. All questions and suggestion were taken seriously and with respect.
