MIT university is trying to build a free resource to help kids learn SAT/ACT thru the power of user-generated images and video. We are currently running a nationwide contest, challenging kids to make fun and memorable flashcards by pairing sentences and images to a common test word.

More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules. Do you have students or colleagues who would be interested?
