Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Piper

    Our kids did a fantastic job of interacting with the many astronomers and educators that came to see our poster. They were poised and knowledgeable and handled questions with ease. I heard many compliments not only about the students explanation of our work, but also about the great job they did constructing their poster.

  • Curtis

    After this experience, I’m more aware that beyond just teaching my students good science, my focus should be to prepare them for a career in science.

  • Odden

    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.
