Dear Postdocs,

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: 
http://www.doodle.com/c3hp72ci8z36n7mw. Also, if you are interested in 
volunteering for this round, please tell us a little bit about yourself 
using this link: http://tinyurl.com/SoE-PostDocMentors.

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: http://www.youtube.com/mitK12Videos.  To learn 
more about the project, please visit our website: http://k12videos.mit.edu/.

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.

We are thankful for the engagement of the post doctoral community in 
these efforts and look forward to seeing you on Thursday.

Sincerely,
Becky
