• DonorsChoose.org is a non-profit organization that works with people from all over the web, to enrich and enhance the opportunities of students all over the US. According to the site: DonorsChoose.org is a simple way to provide students in need with resources that our public schools often lack. At this not-for-profit web site, teachers submit project proposals for materials or experiences their students need for more effective learning.

On completion of a project, donors receive a feedback package of student photos and thank-you notes, and a teacher impact letter.

  • Salt water can indeed burn when exposed to a certain kind of radio wave, a university chemist has confirmed.

  • Amazon Mechanical Turk is a marketplace for work that requires human intelligence. The Mechanical Turk web service enables companies to programmatically access this marketplace and a diverse, on-demand workforce.

Traditionally, tasks like this have been accomplished by hiring a large temporary workforce (which is time consuming, expensive and difficult to scale) or have gone undone. Mechanical Turk aims to make accessing human intelligence simple, scalable, and cost-effective.
