If you have (geeky) High School kids (or will), you might be interested in MIT ESP - Splash "One weekend in November, thousands of students of all types flood to MIT just for ESP’s Splash program to learn anything they want. From fractal fun to Hungarian history to aircraft analysis, Splash participants are introduced to a huge variety of topics by over 400 classes taught by teachers from the MIT community. Want to take a class on Egyptian mythology? Origami? Chemical sensors? All are possible.
Over the course of 20 hours during Splash, you can get your feet wet with a short introduction to any number of subjects—things you always wanted to learn, or topics you never knew existed. Or you can dive head first into an in-depth seminar or intensive workshop. The whole thing happens over the course of two intense days on the MIT campus, with classes taught by MIT students and community members."
The list of classes is pretty cool.

Holy script fodder for Big Bang Theory, Batman! What an unbelievable (and in some cases unrecognizable) list of subjects!) Can I go?
(Hmmm...and suddenly I discover that, unbeknownst to me, my lovely wife managed to get herself a Google account. Yeah, Mike here....)
Well she should follow me too :)
