What?	Cascade is aimed at local Boston and Cambridge students (9th-12th grade). We recruit students from greater Boston-area schools and community centers, many of whom lack access to similar educational opportunities.
Why?	As with other MIT ESP programs, Cascade aims to instill a love of learning in our students and expose them to topics they might not encounter outside of a traditional classroom. Furthermore, we also hope to build a supportive community and expose Cascade students to experiences that will have a positive impact on their life trajectories. Please note that all our teachers are volunteers and we don't provide monetary compensation, although we do provide lunch, t-shirts and a good time!
When?	Cascade 2024 will take place on Saturdays from October 5th to November 9th. Students will attend mentorship sessions, workshops, and hands-on, engaging classes. Tentatively, teachers will teach a 1.5 hour class.
Who?	You, of course!
Where?	On MIT's campus!
How?	Hands-on activities, discussions, problem-solving, and other forms of interactive learning are essential to the classes. We welcome classes on all academic subjects, ranging from the sciences to the humanities.
