A Cool Idea with Some Smart Kids

My cousin-in-law Dan, from up in Puyallup, Washington, just sent me this very cool web site he worked on for a client named DreamBox.

DreamBox makes educational online games for kindergarten through second graders that teach math in an engaging and fun way. Their product has been reviewed by the likes of the Wall Street Journal and the TODAY Show as an interactive and personalized way to help your kids build a strong foundation in math.

Now, they’ve launched a very cool contest called “Dream Big” that lasts until November 30. Simply upload a video of your child answering the question “what do you want to be when you grow up?” and then vote for your favorite videos! The winner walks away with $1,000 or a DreamBox subscription for their family or school.

PS: If you run into the video of Peyton, that would be Dan and Katrina’s little girl. She was in the top five last I checked, but she’s not eligible to win since her dad worked on the site. It was an awfully cute one though!

    I'm involved with mangahigh.com which brings the same concept to older students.
