UR Splash is a student-run educational outreach organization at the University of Rochester. We host events for high school students in the Greater Rochester Area aimed at spreading the joy of learning in the community.
Our mission is to make subjects of interest accessible to students, and to provide opportunities for high school students to exercise autonomy on what they learn. At UR Splash programs, students get to choose what classes they take, and teachers are allowed to teach any topic they would like, which means that everybody involved is passionate about what they are doing. Teach anything, learn anything!
Splash Day is a program where we invite high school students from around the Greater Rochester Area to the University of Rochester River Campus for an entire day dedicated to learning. On Splash Day, participating high school students have the chance to take classes taught by undergraduates at the University of Rochester on topics that they are passionate about. Classes taught at Splash Day 2022 ranged from Video Game Art to Cryptography to Quantum Computing.
Visit the “Learn”, “Teach”, and “Volunteer” tabs for more information on Splash Day and other UR Splash programs.
Splash Day 2025 will take place on Saturday, April 5th from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM in Meliora Hall, University of Rochester River Campus!
