NITARP, the NASA/IPAC Teacher Archive Research Program, as I've mentioned before, is an effective and inspiring way to get authentic research experiences into classrooms across the United States.   The application for 2013 is now out (due Sep 21!!), and we have a brand new 3-minute video describing the NITARP experience in the participants own words. So, just watch! :)
