These teams worked on their own and presented posters at the 2020 Winter AAS.
I will say that I think part of every good astronomy (or any science) research project is asking a question you don't know the answer to, and I hope that as a teacher I can bring that back to my class. Along with asking questions, both collaboration and organization are important parts of working together for science.
How cool for the kids see a poster right next to theirs being presented by three university professors on one side and a graduate student on the other.
Real astronomy involves working as a team to find an answer. The NITARP program provides a unique, real-life experience in real astronomy to the teachers and students involved.
