Our Brainyflix video contest just ended, and I wanted to thank you for helping us get the word out. 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.

Do you mind passing my message along to students and your HS colleagues again?

Thanks,
Jack

Basically, kids pick a word off our list at the website BrainyFlix.com and make a short video about it. We'll leave the site open to new video submissions up until March 16, so hopefully that is enough time for your kids. If you'd like more details, I recommend you check out the 'Contest Rules' section of the website. If you have questions not answered there, please feel free to email me at admin@brainyflix.com. Thanks!

If not, perhaps you have some educator contacts you could direct me to. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
