Hello Eric,

I would like to cultivate a relationship and introduce to you Eduit.org K12 Online Initiative. We have initiated a rather bold project: to flatten global k12 education via online gaming. Our pilot will be math and science with an emphasis on India and China markets. I think its, Its important we connect this initiative with MIT before we start building anything... because the reality is, if we start building it without MIT, they wont come and if I build it with them are already there. What I need are folks keenly interested in flattening global math and science education on board to help facilitate MIT involvement and support. I really don't know what the best way to go about this, but I am hoping that by extending an invitation to you, is a start in the right direction. FYI, Professor Flowers is on our board of advisors. I understand you don't hold any position to speak directly for MIT, but having faculty involved in a step in the right direction... did I make any sense?

Also, I would be very interested in positioning Education Arcade as a strategic partner and software development partner. For political reasons we will be outsources work to China and India but we need to have a core "local" group overseeing the project.

One last thing, we have been invited to submit a $5m math and science online education program for a foreign government -- we will probably look to outsource most of the project and handle the project management and implementation side. it has some significant logistical issues that we will need working out. But we are going to need help with it.

Hope this email find you in good health and spirits,

Sincerely,

Michael

Hi Michael

Thanks for making contact with us. This sounds like a great initiative with a lot of potential. I also think that we could make some helpful contributions in terms of design and management (the things we do best). My schedule (and that of the other people I'd like to bring in) is a little hectic in the coming weeks, but I was hoping perhaps we could schedule a conference call on 5/7. Is that a possibility?

If that doesn't work we'll find another time.

Look forward to talking.
