Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Laura

    Always impresses me how well a ‘kid’ can perform if supported and presented with a challenge that interests them.

  • Curtis

    I think that more than anything else, hearing these kids talk about their work really convinced me how valuable this experience is for students.

  • Curtis

    The NITARP experience is truly phenomenal, and our scientist was wonderful to work with – never condescending and always very clear in his explanations.
