    Thank you for such a first class learning experience.

  • John

    NITARP is a phenomenal opportunity. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done in terms of professional development. It’s fun working with teams from across the county.

  • Odden

    I met a lot of people over the course of [my first AAS]. So many people were interested in chatting, especially with a high school physics teacher!
