Splash!

Captain's blog, stardate 2864.9....
AD BREAK!
Me: I'm gonna teach at Splash, I'm gonna teach at Splash!
Random Kids: What's Splash?
Me: Glad you asked! Splash is an educational opportunity for middle- and high school students. Students who register for the program can come to MIT from November 20-21 and enjoy classes taught by MIT students. The course offerings are incredibly diverse, ranging from crash courses in computer programming to knitting to board game strategy. There's something for everyone!
Kids: Wow! It sounds great!
Me: It is!
Kids: I wanna go to Splash!
Me: Registration for students will open in late October! It costs $30 for high school students and only $20 for middle school students--a low, low price to pay for the fun and educational value of this weekend!
Kids: Oh boy! Hey, didn't you say you were gonna teach something?
Me: You bet!
Kids: Ooh, I wanna come to your class! What's it gonna be about?
Me: I'm teaching two classes, actually! The first one is "Star Trek and the 1960s," in which we'll explore strange new worlds how the original Star Trek series reflected the issues of its time, and the other is "You Canna Change the Laws of Physics: Science Mistakes In Star Trek," which is exactly what it says on the tin!
Kids: WOW! That sounds so cool, Captain Quirk! I can't wait!
Me: *stares into camera* Splash 2010. Be there.

Everything in that ad was true, except for the part about random kids wanting to go to classes about Star Trek. Still, I bet some people will go.
...will YOU be one of the lucky few?

OK, advertising is over for real this time. In all seriousness, Splash is gonna be totally awesome, and if you're in the right age group and are available on that weekend, you should definitely come, even if you don't go to either of my classes. After all, they are pretty nerdy subjects. (Earn your nerd badge by coming to Star Trek class! Aw, right, no more advertising...)
