Google has thrown its weight behind Khan Academy, partnering with it in a new competition to discover “educational YouTube stars.” The initiative seeks “10 super talented and engaging content creators” to become Next EDU Gurus, who will benefit from training and promotion, plus receive a $1,000 B&H gift card for video equipment.

From the official announcement:

Do you set historical events to music? Doodle your geometry? Sing your Shakespeare? We’re looking for content creators who create all kinds of curriculum-related videos, from grammar to geography, history to histograms. You can submit any style of video as long as it’s educational and family-friendly–just bear in mind that we’re looking for content creators who can take people on a journey through a topic, so if you could imagine making ten, twenty, or fifty more videos on the topic in the future, all the better!
