Stellar Teachers and Rebull with SPHEREx -- All-Volunteer NITARP 2026 team studying stars with SPHEREx.
I was looking for ways that my students and I could get involved with real science and real astronomy, and NITARP is doing exactly that.
Real astronomy involves being able to problem solve and think critically, apply process skills, and communicate effectively.
I've enjoyed working with NITARP teachers and seeing just how talented they are and how passionate they are about what they teach and about their kids. They want to learn as much as they can here so that they can go and make their classrooms better.
