Update: We have a winner!
The MIT Alumni Association is creating a MIT Valentine’s Day postcard and we need your help. We’ve designed the card, and we want you to provide the MIT-inspired copy. (Geeks can be quixotic, too.)
Once the submissions are collected, the Alumni Association, in conjunction with the Academy of Valentine’s Day Arts & Sciences, will review and debate then announce a winner on Monday, February 13.
The winning words will be added to our valentine, which will be permanently located in the ePostcards section of the Alumni Association site. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the card will be available to send to—and warm the heart of—that special Engineer (or non-Engineer) in your life.
This contest is open to all members of the MIT community. The rules are simple: Keep it clean, keep it 200 characters or less, and keep it MIT-inspired.
Original poetry, geeky pickup lines, or even a simple word or two are fair game. Submissions will be judged on creativity, originality, humor, and their connection to MIT. Being romantic never hurts either!
Here’s how it works:
Get romantic, get creative, and get to work!
- Submit your MIT-inspired copy in the comments section of this post or on the Alumni Association Facebook page.
- The deadline to submit is Sunday, February 12.
- The Academy of Valentine’s Day Arts & Sciences, in conjunction with Alumni Association cupids, will review the submissions and determine a winner, who will be credited on the ePostcard page.
- Visit the Association Facebook page on Monday afternoon, February 13, to view the winner and send out the postcard.

I definitely think "Nerds" and "Smarties" should be incorporated...

What's your sin? It must be pi/2 because you're the one. ;)

How beautiful is it awaken parallel after the many changes in x-tacy we shared in the night sky as our blood raced in c to taste mu of your lips, 2-pi and tie our prime bodies into 1. How we square our roots deep, exponentially moving as the limits of constant passion goes to infinity. Sensually you e to my i, luscious like pi + 1 more, we're done! Sleep my Valentines, your motion and velocity depleted is now zero.

I went to MIT and earned a degree,
I am glad that I met you in 18.03,
but even with all my HASS D,
I am still no good at writing poems.
Screw it. Will you be my Valentine?

I am, I am, I am, I am, I am an engineer
When you and I superimpose, we really interfere
No physicist, a bond like ours, could ever try define
So two weeks after IAP, please be my valentine?

To my dearest problem set; like the rest, I don't fully understand you, but I'd like to get this one right, so please grant me an extension.
To my dream test; thank you for centering your curve so high. I've never gotten so much wrong and still passed.
I admired the beautiful ratios, formulas, and shapes. With some courage, I dove in, hoping to see deeper into the mysteries of the world. Today, I am creating, but no less in awe of birds in flight.
