What should I teach for Splash?</h2><span style="font-size: 18px;">If you could talk about anything for an hour, what would it be? Is there a
topic
you can go on and on about? What did you want to learn about when you were in high school?<br><br>The beauty of Splash
is designed for teachers to feel comfortable teaching about their own interests and hobbies. The goal is to have an
audience of highly interested students listening to you talking about what you know best.</span><br><br>
<h2>Really? Anything? That seems a bit broad...</h2>
<span style="font-size: 18px;">Of course there are a few restrictions on what we allow people to teach, but we really do have classes on a huge
variety
of topics. For instance, the topics below were all taught in just one recent Splash:</span>

<h2>I have a great idea, but I'm not too comfortable being a teacher...</h2><span style="font-size: 18px;">That’s also fine! Splash is meant for
you to grow as a teacher and communicator. To this end, we’ll provide professional teacher workshops so you can see
plan and how to teach a class effectively. We can also work with you to design course materials so you and your
students can get the most out of your Splash experience.<br>
<br>If you’re not comfortable teaching alone, <strong>you can co-teach a class!</strong> We’ve had many successful
co-taught classes in past years. Feel free to sign up as a pair or in groups.</span><br><br>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-size: 18px;">We aim to create a safe place where kids can feel inspired and excited about learning. As such,
you can't exactly teach <i>anything</i> at Splash. Here are some examples of classes we do not allow:
<ul style="line-height:1.4;">
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;"> Classes that include activities that pose any sort of physical or mental danger to our students.
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;"> Classes that are illegal, or that explicitly promote illegal activities (e.g. How to Deal Drugs 101).
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;"> Classes that promote only a single viewpoint on a sensitive topic (e.g. a pro- or anti-abortion class).
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;"> Classes that exist to advertise an outside organization, service, or product.
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;"> Classes that gather data for outside research purposes of any kind.
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;"> Classes that promote religious proselytization or disrespect a person's religious beliefs.
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;"> Classes that discriminate against students of a certain gender, race, or religion. (See <a href="http

Nondiscrimination Policy</a>)
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;"> In general, adults should be positive role models for minors and all members of the Stanford community
