Default OK, this is cool

A couple of months ago I entered the Flame Challenge II. It's a contest to explain science to 11-year-olds. Last year's subject was "What is flame?", hence the name. This year was "What is time?" as chosen by the students themselves.

Based on voting by actual 11-year-olds from across the US, my entry was chosen to be one of the three video finalists.

Scroll all the way the bottom.

The winner gets a trip to New York to be named the winner.

I'm not begging for votes, since the winner will be determined by 10 judging classrooms. It's not one of those Internet popularity contests where the winner is the one with the most Facebook friends. It's actually more meaningful to be a finalist in this case because it was based on merit.
