Spark 2009

Register to Teach for Spark! Registration Deadline is Saturday, February 7th!

Spark is ESP’s answer to calls (from both students and teachers) for another Splash. Like Splash, Spark offers a series of short classes and workshops for students in grades 7-12. Unlike Splash, Spark runs in the spring, and it only runs for one day. This year, Spark 2009 will be running on Saturday, March 7th (yes, precisely one month after Teacher Registration closes); students will start registering for classes in mid-February,

Classes that have been taught at either Spark or Splash in the past include, “The French Revolution,” “Intro to Web Design,” “Black Holes,” “Cake Decorating,” “How to Sleep in Class” and “De-construct and Automobile Engine.” To get more of an idea of the classes offered at Spark, check out last year’s catalog.

Last year, all HSSP classes had their first day of classes on the day of Spark. This year, Spark and HSSP will be separate programs. Spark will run on the Saturday before HSSP starts. If you want to teach for HSSP, and recruit students from your HSSP class, you should teach for Spark!
