Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Stalnaker.olivia

    NITARP has transformed my life and the way I teach, so it's difficult to find anything that has NOT been influenced by this experience!

  • Paulsen

    I found it most interesting to see the scientific process in action. Scientists were questioning scientists, sometimes fairly aggressively.

  • 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.
