MIT university is trying to build a free resource to help kids learn SAT/ACT thru the power of user-generated images and video.

There will be a small cash prize and iTunes giveaways. Due date is May 22.
More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules. Do you have students or colleagues who would be interested?
