No. 267 - Project 10 to the 100th

I learned back in Post No. 236 that the Khan Academy has a mission to provide a world-class education to anyone, anywhere, free. After hearing about the Khan Academy, I "liked" them on Facebook. Today I read the following post: "Khan Academy awarded $2 million from Google as part of 10^100 project: http://www.project10tothe100.com/".

I learned that Project 10¹⁰⁰ (pronounced "Project 10 to the 100th") was a call for ideas to change the world, in the hope of helping as many people as possible. Google committed $10 million to fund up to five ideas selected by their advisory board. The other four companies receiving funding were FIRST, Public Resource.Org, Shweeb and the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences.
