Full tuition scholarship for a woman seeking a degree in science, engineering, or math

 Yes, a full tuition scholarship for a woman seeking an undergraduate degree in science, engineering, or math. Here is the link:

Funded by Cards Against Humanity (link may be NSFW). When you buy the 'science extension pack', all profits go to the scholarship.

As of today, the scholarship was close to $1M.

A Neural Network Playground

From tensorflow.org, a beautiful display to show the inner workings of a neural network during learning phase: a neural network playground.

Moon landing completely staged! :)

Few nerds at ThamTech, with a little help from others at Wildflower Interactive published this interactive re-enactment (?) of the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing:

Looking at the data and the audio, it is very easy to see that the lunar landing was completely staged. Jokes aside, this page is great; I mean great. You can't get any closer to that moment in history than this. Make sure you let kids around you know about this!

By the way, we are obviously very late to the game; this page won an Webby Award in 2013.
