NITARP Visiting Student Policy
All visiting students must be "up to speed" on the research program on
which they are working on before they visit IPAC, and they will be
expected to work hard. Visits to IPAC are for students who will be
deeply involved in the program for at least one academic year.
Students are expected to take part in the data analysis, and will be
expected to participate fully during their visit to IPAC. Students
will also be expected to give presentations at their schools, science
fairs, and other events to demonstrate their participation in the
program and will be asked to write up reports stating what they have
learned and accomplished.
In addition, all visiting students must bring with them the following
forms signed by their parents (teachers should also bring a copy of
these forms as backup).
The work that students are expected to do will be very challenging,
but can have many rewards. Students will learn what it is like to be
deeply involved in real science research. Many of our past students
have gone on to win top honors at their regional and state science
fairs, and have placed very highly in the prestigious INTEL Science
Fair. Some have even written and published their own scientific
papers, and have gone on to study astronomy and physics in college.
Some of you may also find useful
the this set of files,
graciously provided by Tim Spuck -- these files are what Tim uses to
select students for participation in this program.
