I believe having students work with other students from other schools has much value.
Our kids did a fantastic job of interacting with the many astronomers and educators that came to see our poster. They were poised and knowledgeable and handled questions with ease. I heard many compliments not only about the students explanation of our work, but also about the great job they did constructing their poster.
NITARP has transformed my life and the way I teach, so it's difficult to find anything that has NOT been influenced by this experience!
