This virtual team collects all independent research presented in 2012, and done by NITARP or Spitzer alumni with students outside of a formal NITARP team. Two different teams presented posters in 2012.
This experience has forced me to look at something new and has inspired me to enrich and improve my classes.
I knew nothing about the online archives before this experience. Now I am quite familiar with them, and I have even used them a few times for reasons unrelated to NITARP. I am certain I’ll continue to use this resource going forward.
It was wonderful to see the students from last year presenting their posters and talking with astronomers and teachers from all over the world.
