Using this research in my classes has provided my students with a glimpse of what professional astronomers are tasked with in describing the workings of the universe.
My robotics students are very wowed by the fact that I met a flight director for the Mars Curiosity Rover.
Of all the professional development programs in which I have been involved, NITARP continues to rank among the top few. The opportunity to work with a world-class astronomer and alongside teachers and students across the country on a real research project is amazing!
