Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Edwards

    The science part of our project was overwhelming to me at first. [...]Since then I have learned an incredible amount from my mentor teacher, mentor scientists and my group members.

  • Grannucci

    Working with teachers and astronomers across the country was great for my personal knowledge. Working across times zones was another fun, but interesting challenge. Learning how to work with completely new people, being in a new place, learning new material, all of these experiences help shape me better as a person.

    The teachers who I have met through NITARP are just amazing. I am continually impressed by how hard they work and how enthusiastically they learn.
