I've been involved in many professional development activities and this is by far the best one I've ever done

This NITARP alumni team is investigating the ages of some young clusters.

To get the chance to work with astronomers and researchers in the field, to do authentic research, and to attend conventions and be immersed in astronomy is absolutely amazing for a high school science teacher.
The NITARP experience is truly phenomenal, and our scientist was wonderful to work with – never condescending and always very clear in his explanations.
Thank you so much for coordinating what is a transformative experience for all involved!
