<div>
<div>Dear Postdocs,</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the past few months, an incredible group of your
colleagues has played an instrumental role in helping
MIT in an online educational collaboration with the Khan
Academy. MIT graduate and undergraduate students are
making hands-on, experimental videos to help inspire and
educate K-12 students in Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math (STEM) fields before they attend
college. We are looking for some more post-docs to
mentor teams of MIT students to ensure high quality,
accurate content in their videos. To learn more about
the project, please visit our website: <a
href="http://k12videos.mit.edu/" target="_blank">http://k12videos.mit.edu/</a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Next week, we will be accepting 10 teams of students
to make video series (due in late May), and would like
to assign one postdoc (or two) to each team. We will
require the teams to have a meeting with their
postdoc(s) before they film in the hopes of getting the
technical content right the first time. On Tuesday,
March 20th at 12:00 in 1-236, I'd like to offer you
lunch to discuss. Please reply to me (<a
href="mailto:fearing@mit.edu" target="_blank">fearing@mit.edu</a>)
by noon on Monday (3/19) if you are interested in
attending.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are thankful for the engagement of the post
doctoral community in these efforts and look forward to
seeing you next week.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
<div>Becky</div>
