MIT Splash

Last updated on November 27, 2019

For one awesome weekend each November, thousands of high schoolers flood MIT’s campus to take classes, taught by MIT students, on anything and everything. From music theory to Hungarian history to aircraft analysis, Splash offerings number over 400 every year and span a wide variety of areas. Want to take a class on origami? Lasers? Neuropharmacology? All are open to you.

Location, Transportation, and Parking Notes

Unless absolutely necessary, do not drive: take the MBTA. Morning check-in is a twelve-minute walk from the Kendall/MIT stop on the red line and a one-minute walk from the MIT stop on the 1 bus route. Parents are not required to accompany students to Splash check-in. (Students coming alone must be extra sure to bring a liability form). We are not able to reserve any parking space, so if you do drive, you will have to find parking space yourself.
