TO: Superintendents of Schools, School Principals, and Teachers Albert Einstein developed his theory of relativity, E=mc2, at the age of 26, and it became the most famous equation of the 20th century. In Maine, we have a new theory of prosperity for the 21st century, which is that prosperity is tied to education and education is only as good as our students’ creativity, imagination, and innovation. In other words, E=CI2. The Maine Design Team, a group of innovative thinkers from our local schools, higher education, the legislature, the business community, the arts community, and the Maine Learning Technology Initiative (MLTI) has formed to kickstart Maine’s learning environments and build on all the ways that we can teach our students to imagine, innovate, and create. With that in mind, the Maine Design Team would like to see what sorts of amazing work is already happening all around the State. We invite students, teachers, and administrators from any Maine school to submit a digital video that highlights their most innovative, imaginative, and creative project. The winning school will be chosen by the members of the Maine Design Team and receive $500. Several other schools will have their innovative work publicly acknowledged. Who: Any student, teacher, or administrator from a school in Maine What: A short digital video (maximum 2 minutes long) that demonstrates the ability to imagine, innovate, and create Where: To Lindsay Rowe, Maine Arts Commission, 193 State Street, 25 State House Station, Augusta, Maine 04333-0025.
