Hello everyone-

I am writing this email in order to recruit you to take part in a summer
research project through the Academic Scholars program, Development of
Strategy and Role Playing Games for Education.

For this project, we are planning to develop a gesture-based game for use
in the classroom and as a study aid for courses. We are planning to develop
a fully viable game environment by the end of the summer session.

Below are the project description and position details.  If you are
interested in working on this project, let me know.

-Brian
