>This NOVEMBER 20 and 21, hundreds of high school students (over 1100 last
>year!) will be coming to the MIT campus to take enrichment classes offered
>by MIT undergraduate and graduate students (over 150 classes offered last
>year!). The students won't be graded, attendence won't be taken, and they
>won't have to do any homework they don't want to do. They'll come because
>they want to learn.
>
>Want to teach?
>
>The MIT Educational Studies Program invites you to teach for Splash!, our
>weekend-long fall program that draws over 1000 motivated high school
>students to the MIT campus to take classes from excited teachers: you!
>
>Want to teach tap dancing? Java? C++? Improv acting? Calculus? Number
>theory? Computer game programming? Science fiction? Political science?
>Knitting?
>
>Whatever it is, we can provide the classroom and the students; all we need
>is your energy and enthusiasm. You can choose your topic (we don't even
>have a set list --- make up whatever you want) as long as what is taught
>is done so in a scholarly manner appropriate for high school students.
>Teach alone or in a group, and specify the length of your class ---
>anywhere from one hour to sixteen hours! Just fill out our form online and
>you'll be signed up to teach!

>e-mail esp-volunteers at mit.edu to be removed.  Chances are that you
>know it if you're on a high traffic list, so we won't bug you often,
>and we'll only bug you for cool stuff!
