Hi Brothers,
I mentioned this in an earlier email, but I figured I should send an
email specifically about this as well. ESP has asked if we can help them
with Splash the weekend of Nov. 18 and 19. I've included more
information below. I believe that in the past we have counted Splash
towards the pledge requirements, and I would be inclined to do so again,
although I guess I probably don't have final say over this. Anyway,
online registration is open for another week (url is in the information
below), so you still have some time to think about it, but I encourage
you to sign up now if you have anything you want to teach.
YiLFS,
Irene

----
On November 18 and 19, the weekend before Thanksgiving, over 1000
middle and high school students will descend on the MIT campus for
Splash!, a huge volunteer teaching event. Splash is run by ESP, the
MIT Educational Studies Group. *Anyone* can teach -- and we want *you*
to!
*You* choose when, what, and how long you want to teach -- from a
single 1 hour class, to a twenty-hour teaching marathon. Teach *any*
subject that you find interesting. We'll provide you with students,
training, and, of course, lots of free food!
Teaching not your thing? Help out at registration or with security
during the weekend! Want to teach, but not sure how to put together a
class, or what to teach? Send us an email, and we'll give you a hand.
Email us at splash@mit.edu, or come to a meeting Tuesdays at 9pm in
PDR1 in W20, if you have any questions.
