Splash! at Columbia University

<p>Hi guys!</p>

<p>I currently attend Columbia University and am one of the founders of Columbia Splash!, a one day event for highschoolers to take interesting, unique classes taught by undergraduates, graduates, and other member of the Columbia community (and beyond-- all the way to University of Chicago, in fact). </p>

<p>We offer some awesome, a**-kicking classes, including but not limited to:
Dendritic Spines: An Introduction to Neuroscience
The Fall of the Russian Empire
The Acoustics of Sound
Objects in higher dimensions
The Illusion of Free Will
Cell Division, Stem Cells, and Cancer </p>

<p>We even offer an SAT crash course and, dun dun dun, a crash course in the infamous Columbia Core (Frontiers of Science, Literature Humanities, and Contemporary Civilizations)! </p>

<p>Anyone slightly interested in Columbia should seriously come and check this program out. Students are more than willing to answer questions about their college experience, all classes are held in famous Columbia buildings, and what better way to spend your Saturday than learning about the makings of the atomic bomb?</p>

<p>The event is March 30th from 2 PM to 6 PM. We offer full and partial financial aid, so please don't be hesitant to apply if money is an issue. </p>

<p>To learn more, please visit our website: columbia.learninug.org
Or go directly to student registration: columbia.learningu.org/learn/register.html</p>

<p>Please message me with any and all questions, and I hope to see you there!</p>

<p>For reference, here’s a catalog of the offered classes: <a href=“https://columbia.learningu.org/learn/Splash/2013_Spring/catalog[/url]”>https://columbia.learningu.org/learn/Splash/2013_Spring/catalog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>How I wish I knew about this/attended this while I was in high school… :frowning: </p>

<p>Seems awesome though. It’s amazing to see Alumni/as give back to the community. </p>

<p>Keep up the outstanding work! :)</p>

<p>MIT and Yale also offer the same event. I believe that MIT was the first.</p>
