Parking and Logistics
The program is free and no advance signup is required; all parents and guardians of Splash students are welcome to attend. If you are able, we suggest a $20 donation to help cover our expenses and continue to spread Splash across the country.
The program will be located on the first floor of the Stata Center, Building 32. There will be signs posted to the program from student registration, so it will be easy to find.
Parking is available. Information is posted at MIT ESP's website. You can find additional parking suggestions from MIT's Parking and Transportation department here.
More About Us
The program is being run by Learning Unlimited, a startup nonprofit organization founded by student alumni leaders of Splash programs everywhere. We are leading a movement of university students teaching pre-college students about everything and anything.
Like Splash itself, we're going to emphasize a spirit of unrestrained learning and exploration. We'll share what we know, and invite you to share what you know, too.
