  • February 2024 updates for Ms. Wommack February 8, 2024

    Ms. Wommack writes:

    I always talk about the JPL tour and show photos. I like students to know what it LOOKS like to be an engineer. Many students are encouraged to go into engineering without really knowing what engineers actually do. The tours are invaluable to show students this glimpse!

Quotes

  • Participating in NITARP has made me more confident about teaching Astronomy and communicating to students about how archive Astronomy research is done. They are surprised to learn that even THEY could do Astronomy research. My students and I had such a experience (they LOVED the JPL tour) and I'd love to participate again because I have some new students that I think would love this program!
