DonorsChoose Blogger Challenge 2008: update (day 6).

(Kick off post here.)

I'm inspired by The World's Fair to write this update in the style of Harper's Index.

22: number of ScienceBlogs blogs that have so far mounted challenges.

8,480: dollars donated so far through those challenges

700 billion: the only number other than the year in a ScienceBlogs blogger's challenge title

3,078: students reached by the proposals funded by donations to ScienceBlogs challenges

90: donors who have donated to ScienceBlogs challenges

10: largest number of donors to any of the challenges mounted by ScienceBloggers

3: challenges mounted by ScienceBloggers with a single donor

2: challenges mounted by ScienceBloggers with no donor

4: current ScienceBlogs rank on the Blogger Challenge motherboard

937: dollars by which ScienceBlogs challenges are currently trailing mommy blogger challenges

164: donors by which ScienceBlogs challenges are currently trailing mommy blogger challenges

I know we can catch up to the mommy bloggers!

Check out the challenges, kick in a few bucks, and help kids learn!

(Also, if your employer matches donations to charities, DonorsChoose will happily take that match!)
