Splash! is a yearly academic outreach program by many universities that invites high school students to attend classes created and taught by students, alumni, and local community members. Splash was originated in 1957 by MIT's student-run Educational Studies Program (ESP). Most Splash programs are organized and coordinated by Learning Unlimited of Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Splash sessions typically span two days on a weekend, with individual classes generally one or two hours long. Class topics are chosen by the instructors and range from discussions and interactive projects to intense academic seminars. Attendees are encouraged to take as many classes as they would like.
