Dear Postdocs,<br class="">
<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#540000"><br class="">
</font>This year, an incredible group of your colleagues has
played an instrumental role in helping MIT in an online
educational collaboration with the Khan Academy. We are starting
another round of videos and looking for post-docs to mentor MIT
student video making teams to ensure high quality, accurate
content in their videos, and are hosting lunch next Tuesday (7/24)
at 12:00 in 1-236 for you to learn more. Please RSVP by Tuesday
at 8:00am using this link: <font class="Apple-style-span"

</font>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. Their videos have already
received over 127,000 views on our You Tube channel: <a
href="http://www.youtube.com/mitK12Videos" target="_blank"
class="">http://www.youtube.com/mitK12Videos</a>. To learn more
about the project, please visit our website: <a

<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#540000"><br class="">
</font>Next week, we are accepting teams of students to make
videos due in mid-August. We will require the teams to have a
meeting with a postdoc before they film in the hopes of getting
the technical content right the first time. At lunch on Tuesday,
we can discuss what is entailed in this process.<br class="">
<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#540000"><br class="">
</font>We are thankful for the engagement of the post doctoral
community in these efforts and look forward to seeing you on
Thursday.<br class="">

</font>Sincerely,<br class="">
