They&#8217;ve facilitated over $80,000,000 in giving to thousands of public schools. They\u00a0 are currently running a contest called <a title=\"Hacking Education\" href=\"http:\/\/www.donorschoose.org\/hacking-education\">Hacking Education: A Contest for Developers and Data Crunchers<\/a> that challenges developers to come up with apps that harness the unique data sets of their community to improve education in America.<\/p>\n<p>If you or someone you know is a talented coder or data cruncher with a soft spot for great causes, send them over to DonorsChoose.org to participate by June 30, 2011. Judges will include Arianna Huffington, Joel Klein, Wendy Kopp, and Fred Wilson. A &#8220;Big Winner&#8221; from each of seven categories will get to meet and accept a trophy from Stephen Colbert, attend a taping of The Colbert Report, plus a variety of other prizes. The real prize, though, will be a warm, fuzzy feeling that you&#8217;re improving the American education experience.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/limetech.co\/\">LimeTech<\/a> is a creative tech company with a focus on innovation and adaptive change.
