Everybody is invited to submit educational videos to WatchKnow, an educational online platform due to be launched September 20 (preview here) which strives to collect videos, lectures and animations suitable for kindergartens, primary and secondary education, much like WAYS partner wlp, the world lecture project does it for university-level education. Materials correctly submitted to WatchKnow until September 26 will be eligible for a prize draw.

It does not matter whether you created the video yourself or just found it on the web, but you should be able to provide the data relevant for copyright, and give an explanation why that video is particularly suited for educating children or teenagers. Watchknow is headed by Larry Sanger who also founded Citizendium, an educational Wikipedia offspring directed at university students, researchers and adult education.

2007 Nobel laureate Oliver Smithies is financing a series of lectures with his Nobel Prize money. These lectures are being planned at all four of his former academic homes, and they are dedicated to the young scientists' perspective at a scientific career. Wouldn't it be cool if these conferences could be made available online for all of us to watch, e.g. via the World Lecture Project?

PYRN, one of the partner organizations of WAYS, recently reached 500 members. Congratulations!
