Spring HSSP
Okay, campers...
What should Josh teach his students this Spring at the MIT High School Studies Program?
(for those of you unfamiliar, it is a 10 week enrichment program for 7th-12th graders run at MIT from late Feb (reg.) to early May - see http://esp.mit.edu for more info)
I plan on teaching in the afternoon and late afternoon periods, and not in the mornings.
Beyond that, I will withhold guidance until I get some feedback!
Edit to settle debate.

Perhaps a course lauding the Saturday sleep-in.
Some things in which I'd be interested, were I to attend:
-Discussing the relationship between learning style and MBTI
-Tracing the evolution of language, and vestigial similiarities among modern ones from different groups
-By the numbers: A completely statistical approach to schools, analyzing any kinds of enrollment, testing, or demographic statistics (in any school or college)
-Who is {Maslow; Jung; Rogers; Terman; Wechsler; James}? What did he think? WHY?
-Current research and trends in GATE
-What's in NCLB? What specific stipulations make it bad?
-What provisions are in IDEA and ADA?
-Are there any documented neurological differences among personality types?
-How does an optical mouse work?
Few of those are relevant to the general public or feasible, but might spark other ideas.
