NITARP has been the best experience I have ever had for my personal and professional development as an astronomy educator.
The process of gathering and analyzing data was very important to help show my kids what real research is like. And since our data didn't come out nice and neat like some labs do, it really helped push my kids to think outside the box.
After this experience, I’m more aware that beyond just teaching my students good science, my focus should be to prepare them for a career in science.
