Only 16

When The Nerdery announced a couple weeks ago it had invited 16 (rather than 12) teams of web development volunteers to the Overnight Website Challenge, some who’ve been in the 24-hour needy-meets-nerdy room for extended periods scratched their head while recalling their experience. “That’s a lot of people – and twice as many feet – in some mighty close quarters,” some said.

“The Nerdery went a bit nuts here, even for them,” said one industry observer.

So, while we draw up schematics for the new-and-improved seating chart, here are the 16 (rather than 12) nonprofits coming to the 2010 Nerdery Overnight Website Challenge (listed in no particular order, other than alphabetical)

  • Bloomington Chorale
  • Centro Campesino
  • Child Protection International
  • Common Ground
  • Dakota Wicohan
  • DesignWise Medical Incorporated
  • Homeward Bound
  • Kinship of Greater Minneapolis
  • Minnesota Association for Children’s Mental Health
  • Minnesota Jaycees
  • Minnesota Senior Corps Association
  • Multicultural School for Empowerment
  • Redwood Area Communities Foundation
  • Restorative Justice Community Action
  • Rural Renewal Energy Alliance (RREAL)
  • World Savvy

    As a Minnesota Jaycee, I’m very glad to hear that our organization is one of the chosen many to be worked on by the Nerdery! We can’t wait to see what nerdy goodness will come of it. I’m sure the site is in excellent hands!
