MIT Educational Studies Program: Spark Program

For one weekend, thousands of students come together to learn from MIT students on just about every subject.

From music theory to aircraft analysis, MIT students are ready to guide middle schoolers through over 500 different subjects and areas of interest. If you want to learn about origami, lasers, or neuropharmacology, then this is the place to be!

Splash and Spark, which run in the late fall and early spring every year, respectively, each take place over a single weekend, with several hundred classes to choose from. Classes for Splash and Spark cover the widest range in styles and content, from high-level math lectures to chocolate tasting.
