    Hi Doug. I was wondering if you have students or educator contacts who would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

    Ah I see. I suppose that is a marketing fault on our part. Much of the vocab is common to both tests, but we thought it'd be easier to just communicate 'SAT'. Still, there is a Media and Public Service component to this project, too, and a small cash incentive to boot. Would love to get kids from Minny involved, but of course, I defer to your better judgement.

    Hey Doug,

    Our Brainyflix video contest just ended. We got 800 submissions from across the country! That said, MIT was really happy with the results and will let us run another contest, so we're going for it! But this time, we're gonna have kids create Brainypics flashcards - which are images and sentences paired up with a one of our SAT/ACT words. The contest ends May 22nd, and there'll be iTunes and a cash prize like last time. To boot, we'll double the payout if the kids can hit a certain goal. More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules.

    We'd love to get some kids in Minny involved.

    Thanks,
    Jack
