Define-A-Thon
Ruth Levitsky, MITAC
Wed Jan 9, 12-01:00pm, 34-101
No limit but advance sign up required (see contact below)
Single session event
You’ve heard of spelling bees. But are you ready to take the next step at the Define-A-Thon 2008?
The Define-a-thon is a game of vocabulary strength that ups the ante on word-based competition. Developed by the editors of the American Heritage Dictionary, this quick-paced game takes participants beyond the spelling bee. Why? Because the ability to spell a word doesn't necessarily mean that you know how to USE the word. The ContestMaster will give each contestant a definition, followed by several possible answers. The contestant must choose the correct one. Prizes will be awarded!
Sign up via email, levitsky@mit.edu or at the MITAC desk in Stata Center or Lincoln Labs.
