    Hi Laura!

    Happy New Year! I was wondering if you or your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. 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!

    Yes! Absolutely we'd love more participants! We have about 50 videos thus far, but there are hundreds of SAT words that could use some memorable videos :)

    Hey Laura,

    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 colleagues again?

    Thanks,
    Jack
