Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Denise

    Over all, the NITARP experience was nothing I had ever experienced before as a teacher. The research was very interesting and challenging at the same time.

  • Doyle

    Thank you for such a first class learning experience.

  • Piper

    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.
