In addition to your core 7-week classes, Sprinkler allows you to try something different. There will be several one-shot class offerings each week for you to chose from. Past classes have covered introductory programming, ballroom dancing, space travel, and more. It's like a mini-Splash within HSSP!

Come study the zoo of particles that make up the universe -- hadrons, mesons, bosons, baryons, and fermions! In this class, I will go over the Standard Model of Particle Physics. We will talk about the different types of particles, their properties (with silly names like color, flavor, beauty, handedness…the list goes on), how they interact, and how we study them. I will also introduce some interesting topics beyond the standard model, including supersymmetry, dark matter, and the Higgs Boson. The class will be fully conceptual, with no need for advanced mathematics.
