I hope that your semester is off to a great start! My name is Jessica Pan, and I’m a member of the MIT Educational Studies Program (ESP). Every fall, MIT ESP organizes Splash, a program where high school students take classes from MIT undergraduate and graduate students. This year, we’re excited to announce that Splash will still be happening virtually. We’ve had students from Biology teach at our programs in the past, and we would appreciate it if you could pass along this teaching and outreach opportunity:
________________________________
tl;dr: Teach a virtual class on anything to high school students on the weekend of November 20–21! Register at esp.mit.edu/splashteach<x-msg://39/esp.mit.edu/splashteach>
Are you looking for a fun weekend activity this semester? Do you want to be a part of one of MIT’s most iconic events? This fall, teach anything with the Educational Studies Program, through Splash!
Splash gives MIT students like you the opportunity to teach thousands of motivated and curious high school students anything you want in any length or style, within our virtual format. Past classes have included Bird Basics, Explore Solar Energy, Cryptography, Breakdancing, Woven Paper Fish, What’s a Genome, and more<https://esp.mit.edu/random>. Most classes are taught by small teams of MIT students, so spread the word to your friends and colleagues, and join a community of new and past Splash teachers in a weekend-long celebration of teaching and learning!
This year, Splash students will be attending virtually, but teachers will have the option to gather and teach from MIT’s campus! If you’d like to learn more about the virtual ESP teacher experience, you can read blogs written by our Summer HSSP teachers here<https://mitesp.home.blog/teacher-blog/>. As a Splash teacher, you’ll receive free swag and food, along with the joy and satisfaction of sharing your passions with equally interested students! Sign up<http://esp.mit.edu/splashteach> to teach a class by October 8.
For more information, check out our website<http://esp.mit.edu/splashteach>. Feel free to email us at splash at mit.edu<mailto:splash at mit.edu> if you have any questions, and we hope to see you soon!
Best,
Jessica and Joshua
Splash 2021 Directors
