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.

  • Ivers

    The most interesting thing I did was to discuss the learning experience with the students who participated in last year’s project. Being in the final stage of their experience and reflecting on that process was the most fun for me. I truly enjoyed the sense of accomplishment they had gained while engaged in the experience. They were proud of themselves and seemed to be waiting for more.

  • Pfahler

    I was looking for ways that my students and I could get involved with real science and real astronomy, and NITARP is doing exactly that.
