Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Paulsen

    The middle schoolers [from NITARP 2012] fielded questions from an astronomer from the Keck observatory like old pros -­‐ very professional! I can’t wait to see my students do the same.

  • Vivian

    [...]It seems that becoming empowered in the language and the nature of inquiry and investigation was also life changing for our teacher participants.

  • Novatne

    The experience has changed my understanding of astronomy and how it is done, but not of astronomers.
