Mr. Jones is part of the NITARP 2025 class.
Many people helped with the review of the 2026 NITARP teams' proposals. Thanks to you all! People at IPAC who helped included:
There are very few of us that teach astronomy in our county, so I'd really like to improve the astronomy program in the county.
I love having this experience of seeing how astronomers work, and my goal is to then take that and be able to explain it to our students.
Since I teach students how to do research, it would be cool if I was doing research too and show them that I don't know what's going to happen, and I'm doing the same type of stuff that they are doing in research class. I wanted NITARP to help make me a better teacher in research and a better teacher in astronomy.
