Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Stevejones

    I love having this experience of seeing how astronomers work, and my goal is to then take that and be able to explain it to our students.

  • Curtis

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

  • Linahan

    I think the best thing about the trip was working with an actual research scientist (Luisa Rebull) at the Spitzer Science Center. This is a unique opportunity that not very many teachers and high school students get.
