I've been involved in many professional development activities and this is by far the best one I've ever done

This team is using Herschel data to look for young stars in L1688.

The NITARP experience was terrific from start to finish – well organized, informative, and unique.
What makes NITARP extraordinary is the level of commitment: both the program's commitment to teachers, and the commitment required from teachers. Teachers commit to a year of hard work, study, risk taking, and intellectual growth. In return, NITARP commits to teachers the most precious resource possible: attentive and supportive mentorship from astronomers at one of the world's premiere research institutions. For me and my students the results have been transformative.
NITARP is the best!
