This virtual team collects all independent research presented in 2015, and done by NITARP or Spitzer alumni with (or without) students outside of a formal NITARP team.
So many of us science teachers do labs where the end is known (which is sometimes necessary to make sure they fit in a class period and that the students understand the concept we're trying to learn) but that's not really science.
I feel the NITARP experience will be a major influence for me here on out.
Watching the students present the research we had been working on the last year was absolutely the best part of the experience for me. They made me so proud
