Columbia Splash is an educational outreach program that draws over 500 8th -12th graders to Columbia’s campus to take classes taught by as many as 100 Columbia undergraduates and graduate students. This one-day, semesterly event seeks to foster excitement for learning in young students by immersing them in crash course-style classes. Course material at Splash bridges academic, artistic, and cultural domains to include classes on subjects as far-reaching as Taiko, a Japanese drumming art, and Galois theory.Splash classes are exciting, challenging and often cover content areas with which high school students may have little or no experience. Our teachers are volunteers who are passionate about what they choose to teach during Splash, so they put a lot of thought and energy into creating lessons that explain advanced topics in accessible but rigorous ways. Students of all academic backgrounds are welcome at Splash!
The subjects range from Math to the Humanities, and specialize in specific sub genres. Indulge in your inner nerd and take classes in subjects that have always piqued your interest. Explore your passions alongside peers! Teachers will not only be lecturing on their class subjects, but will also be available for questions about general college life and beyond. This is more than just an academic experience– it’s for YOU to explore what college life actually means.
