Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Hall

    Thank you for a life changing experience.

  • Linda

    Having scientists explain their research and bringing it down to my level was very interesting and I learned so much!

  • Denise

    This [whole NITARP] experience will help me understand how students feel when they are presented with new material and don’t understand. I think this will give me more patience and understanding in this area.
