Join us to learn just about anything for a weekend on the MIT campus!

Registration

Splash uses a lottery system to assign you to classes. The deadline for
submitting your class preferences is 11:59PM EDT on Sunday, October 29th.
You can follow the instructions on our website
<https://esp.mit.edu/learnpotato> to register!

If you want a full schedule (for maximum learning!), we recommend ranking
at least 3 classes and starring at least 10 classes per time block, or you
may end up with many empty class blocks. All rankings and stars will be
entered into the lottery. The lottery is not first-come first-serve;
classes will be assigned after registration has closed, and all students
who register before the deadline (October 29th) will be considered equally.
We will release class assignments a few days later. After you get your
initial schedule, you will be able to modify your schedule by adding and
dropping classes during a first-come first-serve registration phase.

Cost

There is a $50 fee to attend Splash. However, we offer generous financial
aid and we encourage anyone who needs it to request aid. Once students get
their lottery results, we’ll send out more information via email on payment
and financial aid requests.

We will begin accepting payments a few days after the lottery closes. After
payment opens, you will have until Thursday, November 9th to pay for the
program or request financial aid online. Afterwards, you’ll have to make
payment or request financial aid in-person when you check in to Splash.

Other Logistics

If you’re coming from far away and need somewhere to stay for Splash
weekend, we are in the process of arranging some discounted hotel rates —
check this page
<https://esp.mit.edu/learn/Splash/hotels.html?src=announcements_hotels> in
the next week or so for details.

We will send emails to Splash students in the weeks leading up to Splash,
so make sure you regularly check the email address that you registered your
account with. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email us at
splash at mit.edu.

Happy registering, and we hope to see you at Splash 2023!

Best,

Jessica and Harry
