I saw this call for postcards on the Letter Writters Alliance blog and couldn’t resist re-posting it here.
Smarter Every Day is a Youtube channel that explains interesting science bits. It’s run by Destin, a father who is really excited about science… and high-speed cameras! The videos are contagiously enthusiastic – the one about the mystery of Prince Rupert’s drop is a favourite around here!
So in this video about teaching his kids how to skip stones, Destin asks for help getting postcards to cover the walls of a room in his house. I think we can give him a hand… if there’s one thing postcrossers are good at, it’s sending postcards! :)
So if you have an extra postcard, please send it to:
Destin’s Wall Project (or something funny)
Smarter Every Day
PO Box 63
Hartselle AL 35640
USA
He doesn’t ask for a specific message, but you could always mention your favourite science bit, ask a question, or say that you come from Postcrossing! :)
We’re looking forward to see how that room turns out!

Great initiative by Destin!
He has a unique look for his family room...with the bonus of it being a informative teaching tool for his children and a family project that will last a life time!
Congratulations to him, I have just completed my postcard for Destin's wall and will dispatch first thing tomorrow :D
Come on fellow postcrossers get those pens out now!!!
cheers

great science starts when you are young and inquisitive

I'm so curious whether Destin received our cards yet, and what his walls look like now! :-)
I've yet to visit Alabama...how about a Postcrosser's meet up at Destin's house and we can see his room firsthand. I have a feeling the family will require another room (or another house) by the time all the postcards arrive. Keep us uptodate, Destin
