Spark: ESP’s experimental cross between Splash and HSSP

About Spark

Spark features the first sessions of all HSSP classes as well as a slew of Splash-like classes on anything from “How to Sleep in Class” to “Algebraic Topology”. Spark is meant to give students a chance to preview their HSSP classes before making a long-term commitment. At same time it will be an opportunity to experience a day packed with exciting and eclectic one-time classes.

Spark is happened for the very first time on March 8th 2008 and will happen again next spring. As a teacher, you can choose one of two different ways to teach for Spark! If you are an HSSP teacher you’ll teach the first of 10 sessions of your HSSP class for Spark. You can even teach your class multiple times during Spark to get more students involved. If you’re not teaching an HSSP class because 10 weeks seems too daunting or you don’t have that much material to cover, you can teach for just an hour or two. Whether you choose to teach for HSSP or only for Spark, you’ll be able to teach anything you’re interested in to students who want to hear what you have to say!
