Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Piper

    Our lead astronomer, Luisa Rebull, has a very energetic style and pushes her team to the limits. Our group of teachers put in many hours each week for a full year to learn the topic or skill at hand followed by a weekly teleconference. The pressure was on and I loved it!

  • Miller

    So many of us science teachers do labs where the end is known (which is sometimes necessary to make sure they fit in a class period and that the students understand the concept we're trying to learn) but that's not really science.

  • Paulsen

    I’m thinking I’ll have my 6th graders each do a project on an observatory in our astronomy unit. There are so many!
