Learn from Sun Microsystems. BTW, I teach at NYU School of continuous and professional studies and my students are not kids, but working programmers.

We should be ready for next September. Your school will likely be one of the first ones, because of the class that you're running there. Also, there *is* a contest for US students already - Its called the Adobe Design Achievement Awards. http://www.adobe.com/education/adaa/ has more information. The category "Interactive and Web Design" handles entries for Adobe Flex. Winners get $5,000 and a trip to San Francisco, among other prizes. We're just now developing an overall plan with the education team to promote Flex in US schools. We should have something more concrete to share with you in the new year.

Now our India team is doing one. I am sure over the next year you will see more such programs in North America, Europe, Asia.... The nature of these programs is that they are done by the regional team, not by "Corporate". Regards, David Adobe Hi Yacov,
