What is Splash at Columbia?

Splash is a one-day, semesterly event that seeks to foster excitement for learning in young students by immersing them in diverse classes taught by current Columbia students. Course material bridges academic, artistic, and cultural domains to include classes on subjects as diverse as Careers in Medicine and Health Sciences, Creative Writing 101, Should Capitalism End?, and Wushu!

Splash classes are exciting, challenging, and often cover unique content that students may have little or no experience. Our goal is to invigorate a passion for learning in our students and a passion for teaching in our teachers. Our mission is to empower students from both sides of the experience and to create a space for fostering mutual understanding through shared academic endeavors.



Splash at Columbia is a program managed entirely by student volunteers, and we need you to make it happen!

By teaching one or more classes at Splash, teachers have the opportunity to share what they are passionate about and gain teaching experience at the same time.
