Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Mark

    I kept wishing this program had been available when I was a kid. Wanting to be a scientist, I had no role model or support and never pursued it.

  • Stevejones

    Since I teach students how to do research, it would be cool if I was doing research too and show them that I don't know what's going to happen, and I'm doing the same type of stuff that they are doing in research class. I wanted NITARP to help make me a better teacher in research and a better teacher in astronomy.

  • Palmer

    NITARP is the most intense and satisfying professional development programs I have participated in.
