<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Want to explain automobiles, juggling, or other haard(vark) concepts like ancient Greek to a middle schooler? Do you want to share an interesting idea, some awesome facts, or your
favorite hobby with curious and enthusiastic students?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">This spring, MIT ESP is running Spark in a new format for a virtual world on the Saturdays from
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">March 13</span></strong> to
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">27</span></strong>, coined
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">eSpark</span></strong> for its online and extended nature. Hundreds of eager 7th and 8th graders are excited to take classes on an incredible range of topics, and we need your help to teach them. Like the
learning extravaganzas Splash and Spark, you can teach a <strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">standalone</span></strong> class for one weekend. But unlike previous Sparks, you can also teach a
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">sequence</span></strong> and develop a subject over three weekends with the same set of students (similar to HSSP). Your class can be one hour or two hours long, and any size from a small seminar or workshop
to a giant lecture.<o:p></o:p></p>
