In just one day, we've funded nearly one third of the amount required for "The Shocking Simplicity of Electric Circuits" project. We can give these kids the passion for science with just a few more donations -- and today is the last day of our challenge. So if you just haven't gotten around to donating, now is the time to do it.
Let's end this challenge with a bang and get this project fully funded. And if you've already donated, please let me take this opportunity to thank you for what you've done. This kind of support not only inspires the kids, but the teachers as well, because they know others are supporting what they do.

As you have no doubt noticed, the annual DonorsChoose fundraiser is under way, raising money to help school teachers and children.
