Convert a bunch of about and current programs pages to markdown

This should make them less annoying to edit.  Some I couldn't because they
require various divs.  One of several diffs for #4.  I also fixed a few minor
typos and such.

+# About Learning Unlimited
+
+Learning Unlimited was founded in 2007 by a group of alumni who had been involved with Splash at MIT and wanted to make educational opportunities more readily available for all students. With the mission of creating educational opportunities for high school and middle school students, and to provide leadership and teaching opportunities for college students' Learning Unlimited strives to engage students of all ages in an educational setting to share and discover their passions. We accomplish our mission through our core values:
+
+## Choice
+
+Learning Unlimited encourages university students to choose what they most want to teach, using their passion as a resource for effective teaching.  Meanwhile, pre-college students choose their own courses, often among hundreds of options, at each of our programs.  In this way they become personally invested in their learning.  Research has found that choice is a key component to building internal motivation.
+
+## Opportunity
+
+Learning Unlimited believes that every student should have access to exciting educational experiences.  We work to spread our programs as broadly as possible, and to ensure that all programs are either low-cost (with fee waivers available for those with need) or completely free.
+
+We encourage children who attend LU's programs to use Splash as a jumping off point to more low-cost or free educational oppertunities to further cultivate their passions. Often times these programs are run by the same students who run Splash.
+
+## Accessibility
+
+Learning Unlimited encourages its programs to make teaching and leadership opportunities available to all students at each university, so that its programs are accessible to all university students (and often community members).  Additionally, we seek to make programs open admission with no application process, or a minimal one to gauge student interest.  Thus, our programs are accessible to all pre-college students.
+
+## Autonomy
+
+Each chapter of Learning Unlimited is an independent organization led by college students.  This autonomy builds their leadership skills and self-reliance.  Each teacher at a Learning Unlimited program has the autonomy to design their own course without intense oversight.  Each student has the autonomy to choose their courses, navigate the campus on their own, and be where they want, when they want.  The same research that validates the importance of choice in building internal motivation shows the importance of autonomy.

+# Our Results
+
+Learning Unlimited's programs have reached well over 20,000 students, with an estimated program attendance of over 10,000 for 2013-2014 academic year alone. We continue to shape the way thousands of students look at education.
+
+In addition, approximately 2,000 undergraduate and graduate students taught for a Splash program in the past academic year, providing crucial experience communicating ideas and sharing their passions.
+
+After our programs, we conduct a survey of participants to measure their response to the program.  The results are both informative and motivating.
+
+## Our students...
+
+Found that **learning a lot was a lot of fun**:
+
+- 49% of students respondents reported learning "a lot" at MIT Splash 2008 --- while an **additional** 21% reported learning more than in a whole month of school!
+- 69% of respondents at MIT Splash 2008 reported following up on their class material after the program.
+- Students at Yale Spring Splash 2014 rated their overall satisfaction with their learning an average of 4.4/5.
+- Meanwhile, at the University of Chicago's Cascade spring 2009 program, the overall rating students gave to their classes was a 9.1/10, a high rating shared by the students' overall excitement for class material, also a 9.1/10.
+
+## Our teachers...
+
+Found that teaching was both exciting and helpful to them:
+
+- 100% of teacher respondents at Stanford Splash 2008 found teaching to be "**fun**" or "**very fun**."
+- 95% of teachers at Yale Spring Splash said they would teach again for a Splash program, with an average satisfaction of 4.3/5
+- 89% reported a **greater interest in teaching for outreach programs**.
+- 82% felt their **teaching had improved** from the experience.

+# What We Do
+
+Learning Unlimited (LU) is leading a movement of **college students teaching high school students everything and anything**.  By seeding and supporting **self-sustaining student groups** at colleges and universities around the world, LU reaches over 10,000 students annually.

+<div class="floatleft imagebox"><img src="/media/images/photos/chalkboard.jpg" width="133" height="200" alt="Chalkboard"><br><a href="/current-programs">Stanford Splash 2010</a></div>
+
+## Splash
+LU's flagship program is [Splash](/current-programs). In one weekend, hundreds to thousands of high school and middle school students are invited to a college campus to learn about [everything and anything](/current-programs/classes) from passionate university students. Splash often serves as a gateway to long-term programs run by the same students.
+
+These programs are run by undergraduate or graduate student groups. Each is independent, mentored and supported by LU, with their own budget and leadership.
+
+## What Makes Us Different
+
+### Leadership
+While LU's most well known program is Splash, LU encourages and supports chapters creating and exploring other educational programs of their own. Our purpose is not to dictate or direct chapters what to do or how to do it, it is to provide support and guidance to the student leaders that create and run these programs. This allows college students to take on real leadership roles and work with each other to create a program that is truly their own and works best for their campus and community.
+
+### Mentors
+LU has an intense mentoring process and the amazing college students that take charge of running programs. These up-and-coming leaders run their programs with energy, professionalism, and a real sense of fun.
+
+LU provides intense mentoring and start-up support, an open-source web platform for every aspect of program management, a knowledge base of organizational guides and best practices, and other shared national resources. With LU's help and guidance, each group customizes their programs to their university, community and individual strengths.
+
+### Passion
+By engaging volunteers to teach what they love to students not much younger than them, Learning Unlimited opens up a world of possibilities to young minds. For the first time, they can explore topics like urban design, or cosmology, or advanced mathematics, or impressionist art. Students realize that careers are open in these fields, and can picture themselves doing it. They have a chance to explore on their own terms, and then they make that study their own.

+
+Learning Unlimited supports programs where students choose between hundreds of classes. Students have the freedom to explore a college campus on their own, and to be treated as responsible adults. Research has repeatedly shown that choice and autonomy, both key features of LU programs, are essential to developing internal motivation in learners.

+
+## Outcomes
+
+University student leaders and teachers report benefits to their careers and interest in teaching.  Pre-college students report increased interest in learning the topics they see at Splash.  See more at our [results page](/about/results).
