Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Paulsen

    My robotics students are very wowed by the fact that I met a flight director for the Mars Curiosity Rover.

  • Curtis

    I’ve already made big changes to my curriculum because of this program, and will continue to do so in future years.

  • Rutherford

    I think that my NITARP experience is one of the best things that I have ever done in my life, both as an educator and as an individual. I have found that I really like doing research and plan to continue that in the future both with my students and as an individual.
