<div>For MIT Postdocs, forwarded from Rebecca Fearing, MIT School of
Engineering, who met recently with officers of the MIT
Postdoctoral Association:<br>
<br>
***<br>

<div>Thanks for letting me join your meeting last week to talk about
our K-12 outreach plan. I am very excited to share an opportunity
with your post-doc community to attend a special event featuring
speaker Salman Khan -- the founder and faculty of <a
href="http://www.khanacademy.org/">www.khanacademy.org</a>.
This unique event will take place Thursday November 17th at 7 pm
in 32-123 (Kirsch auditorium). <br>
</div>
<br>
With three MIT degrees behind him (Course VI and XVII SBs and a
Course VI MNG), Khan is hoping to re-invent and pioneer new models
of education deliver and learning among K-12 students. Using very
simple production techniques -- table drawings with informal (yet
highly informed) narrations -- Khan has has created 2,800 5 to 15
minute lectures that have drawn more than 90 million views on Khans
Academy's You Tube channel.<br>
<br>
Khan's lecture - Rethinking Learning-- is open to members of the MIT
community only and sponsored by the School of Engineering and The
Founders Journey (6.s976). We hope some members of the post-doc
community will take the opportunity to attend this talk! <br>
