[ESP Announcements] Fall 2011 educational opportunities

[Educational Studies Program at MIT]

Greetings from the MIT Educational Studies Program!

We have two exciting programs running this fall. Delve will run AP prep
classes each Sunday throughout the school year, and Splash will offer
shorter classes about a huge variety of topics over the weekend before
Thanksgiving, November 19th and 20th. Our sister program at Boston College
will also be offering their own Splash program in November. More detailed
information on each of these programs is below.

For more information on MIT ESP programs, feel free to look at our website,
http://esp.mit.edu/about/welcome.html. For more information on BC Splash,
refer to their site, http://bcsplash.learningu.org. We hope to see you at
these programs this fall!

Best,

Delve

Looking for a way to get college credit in high school? Interested in
showing colleges just what you are made of? Want to explore a topic
in-depth? Registration is open for Delve, ESP's AP preparatory course, and
we would love to have you join us for an exciting 29 weeks of learning! Sign
up today at http://esp.mit.edu/learn/Delve/index.html.

Delve will offer classes for the Calculus, Physics, Studio Art, Government
and Politics: United States and more AP exams during the school year, from
mid-September until May. Every Sunday, students will spend 10:00AM to 3:00PM
at MIT dedicated to one of these classes (with an hour long lunch break in
between).  Our classes can be taken as stand-alone classes, not just in
conjunction with AP courses at high schools.  You will have the opportunity
to take the AP in May with your school or with our partner, Cambridge Rindge
and Latin School.


If you have any questions about Delve, please feel free to email us back at
delve at mit.edu.
