One program in particular (Energy Technology and the Environment) would be right up Engadget's alley considering Energy Technology is the new Information Technology. Basically, students come into Washington DC and learn about how the federal government "works", they hear speakers from the EPA, The US Green Building Council, NSF, etc. and work together to create a civic action plan. Some of the students have gone on to create second hand clothing stores, working with local homeless shelters, etc. etc. It's just amazing.<br><br><a href="http://www.presidentialclassroom.org/our_programs/energy.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.presidentialclassroom.org/our_programs/energy.aspx</a><br><br>Again, a shameless plug, but it would be great if we could get some funds to send a student or two to the program. I'd be happy to have an "Engadget essay" so that we could select a great student.<br><br>Just a thought...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Richard Mitchell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 3rd 2008 12:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Help Engadget Energize Education in the 2008 DonorsChoose Blogger Challenge]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/help-engadget-energize-education-in-the-2008-donorschoose-blogge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/help-engadget-energize-education-in-the-2008-donorschoose-blogge/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nice. and I have one: <a href="http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/" rel="nofollow">http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/</a> which is basically a distributed computing client that utilises unused CPU power to search for radio transmissions that may come from Extra Terrestrial sources. It's pretty cool. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Christy McGrory]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 2nd 2008 3:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Help Engadget Energize Education in the 2008 DonorsChoose Blogger Challenge]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/help-engadget-energize-education-in-the-2008-donorschoose-blogge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/help-engadget-energize-education-in-the-2008-donorschoose-blogge/</guid><description><![CDATA[Keep the distributed computing to yourself. Especially for such pointless exercises as looking for alien life.<br>Do you have any idea how much electricity is wasted every year on these crap pointless distributed computing projects.They even did a climate model one to help fight climate change it was hilarious ! save the planet by leaving millions of PCs on overnight LOL.<br><br>Do we really have to all become do-gooding-charity-friends really ? and when the hell does anyone at engadget talk about linux distros ?<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Major4Play]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 2nd 2008 7:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Help Engadget Energize Education in the 2008 DonorsChoose Blogger Challenge]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/help-engadget-energize-education-in-the-2008-donorschoose-blogge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/help-engadget-energize-education-in-the-2008-donorschoose-blogge/</guid><description><![CDATA[DonorsChoose is just the best. This year our funding for schools has gone down. DonorsChoose is making it possible for many of us to fill important needs in our classrooms. <br><br>My first request on DonorsChoose was for books about Blacks in the Colonial Era. My students found the information invaluable, thanks to donors like you!<br><br>This second time we are requesting a much needed laptop for presentations in my "Laptop Presentations" request. Your support is very much appreciated.<br><br>Thank you so much. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tito Zendejas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 2nd 2008 10:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Help Engadget Energize Education in the 2008 DonorsChoose Blogger Challenge]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/help-engadget-energize-education-in-the-2008-donorschoose-blogge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/help-engadget-energize-education-in-the-2008-donorschoose-blogge/</guid><description><![CDATA[PS.
