Having scientists explain their research and bringing it down to my level was very interesting and I learned so much!
Science in the classroom can get so abstract, and after 20 years of teaching, I want to find out how people are using all of this math I'm talking about in class. I've always had an obsession with astronomy and physics, so NITARP is perfect for me.
One of my students at Niles West had become interested in GRBs as we thought they were the results of mergers of black holes [but we learned this was wrong at an AAS plenary talk]. My student thought it was interesting that scientists could change their minds about how things worked.
