Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Urbanowski

    Thanks again for NITARP. My whole world is better for it.

    You and this program (NITARP) have been truly remarkable and has already changed my life forever. I'm just waiting to see what happens next.

    Real astronomy is very exciting! I was not expecting to have to solve problems in excel the way we did. We were asked to answer simple questions or develop simple graphs at times but in order to get correct results (as far as we can tell) our team had to parse our skills and play with logic. I remember creating my first SED: I became so excited I could not sit down anymore. Another teacher was so thrilled they raised their hands and yelled in excitement. It was the first time we had results; it was a thrill.
