Teaching these middle school kids how the basics of an electronic device works is a stellar idea. As an extension of their current curricula on green and renewable energy resources we might just be able to get a few kids interested in saving the planet. Donate a buck!
Next up is a project posted by Mrs. Verbeck from Colona grade school.

SCRABBLE! I’m pitching in a dollar just so these kids can learn the usefullness of the letter T! I know where she’s coming from though, unless a book has done a Harry Potteresque dash to the top of the New York Times bestseller list, kids in general don’t care about reading. Especially with the cost of these new “trendy” books, providing them to an entire class is expensive and improbable. Donate a buck!
