Splash at Berkeley Spring 2024Splash at Berkeley is an educational outreach event each semester where high school students come to campus for a day of classes taught by undergraduates, graduates, and postdocs. These classes are between 1 and 3 hours (in hour multiples) and can be taught on literally any (appropriate) topic of your interest. Topics in the past have ranged from black holes to crocheting to poker. Anything you want to teach, you can! Our goal is to get high school students interested in the wide range of topics they can explore during college. Additionally, this is a fantastic way to give back to the local Bay community. This spring, Splash will be on Sunday, April 21, and we would love for you to teach with us! Teacher registration is open until February 26th.
If you have any questions about the program or teaching, please email Sajant Anand at sajant@berkeley.edu. Also, please encourage your friends to teach as well! We had ~300 students in the Fall and are working to have even more this semester, which will only be possible with the help of enthusiastic teachers like you.
