...or any of 400 other awesome topics? If so, then Splash is the program for
you! Splash will be running November 19th and 20th, the weekend before
Thanksgiving, on MIT's campus.

Registration for Splash will open on October 25th at 8 pm. The class catalog
will be available at <http://esp.mit.edu/learn/Splash/2011/catalog/> shortly
before then. **Don't panic** if you can't see the catalog well in advance of
registration opening! This year, classes are once again being scheduled by a
lottery system to ensure that the process is as fair as possible.
Preferences will be accepted until November 2nd; all preferences received
before then will be treated exactly the same. It is strongly encouraged that
you take your time and pick the classes in which you are most interested.
For more information about the lottery, go to <
http://esp.mit.edu/learn/Splash/studentregFAQ.html>. After the lottery
results are released on November 6th, first-come-first-serve registration
will open on November 7th and remain open until November 13th. For more
information, go to <http://esp.mit.edu/learn/Splash/studentregFAQ.html>.

If you have any more questions about MIT Splash, feel free to email us at
splash at mit.edu.

In addition to MIT's Splash, Splash will be held at Boston College on
Sunday, November 13th! Come to The Heights to take a diverse selection of
classes all taught by passionate BC undergraduates. Immerse yourself on BC's
campus, connect with the undergraduates, and learn about something that
would never be offered at your high school. BC's liberal arts classes range
from "Political Structures and Policies in the World of Harry Potter" to
"Egg Timer Art History" to "Entrepreneur State of Mind". BC Splash is free
for all high school students and course registration is open now! For the
complete course catalog and more information on how to sign up, you can

We look forward to seeing you at Splash!
