Mining current optical and infrared databases to find variable active galactic nuclei.
For me, [this project] was a real partnership between scientists and educators. All questions and suggestion were taken seriously and with respect.
[...]that provided a wonderful window into the student’s perspective of the NITARP experience. I loved how they talked about seeing math as a way of communicating and for checking data…not as THE right answer type computations. Many then said that concept was new and they really appreciated it.
The experience has and will continue to help me develop more effective uses of NASA/JPL resources for me and to promote professional development.
