X10686: What your schools didn't teach you in Splash 2016 (Nov. 19 - 20, 2016)
Let's talk sex ed. We'll cover FAQ, LGBTQIA+ resources and questions, safety, pleasure, sex toys, masturbation, everything in between, no shame. We'll have some discussions and a ton of time for Q&A. This course title is intentionally vague, because I want you to be able to sign up for this class without worrying about awkward questions.


C10791: Intro to Linux in Splash 2016 (Nov. 19 - 20, 2016)
What's Linux? Learn how it works, why it's cool, and a basic lesson on command line tools.


H10795: Education: Is this the best we can do? in Splash 2016 (Nov. 19 - 20, 2016)
EDUCATION. Let's talk. What sucks about schools? What could be better? How do students learn? Are charter schools good or bad? What's up with lectures vs project based learning? How can we make schools more just? What is happening as a result of the "education reform movement". How can we improve schools? What has your experience been like? How would you improve your school?


H10811: Technology and Society in Splash 2016 (Nov. 19 - 20, 2016)
Sometimes we like to immediately jump to technology as the solution to all the world's problems. Hackathons like "hack world hunger" or "hack education" spend 48 hours suggesting tech solutions for enormous, worldwide problems. When is technology appropriate and when should we be concerned? This will be a discussion-centered class about the impact of technology on society using a couple case studies and examples. There's no right answers here, but it's something worth thinking about
