Google recently announced details of the new contest where students can design their own take on the Google logo. Teachers must register their school and be the one to actually submit the logo to the contest. (I found the write up about he history of the logo interesting, it might make a good motivator or informational reading piece for older students.) There are some great prizes being offered, including a special prize of 20 netbooks. To quote the site:
Extra Credit – Technology Booster Awards
This year, we are giving out eight (8) Technology Booster awards for schools who submit their doodles by March 10, 2010. The awards consist of 20 netbook computers for public or private schools or 2 netbook computers for homeschools who submit the maximum amount of doodles for their school by March 10, 2010 (doodles must be received by this date).
Schools who are eligible to win this award are those who submit either six (6) doodles if they are a public or private school or two (2) doodles if they are a homeschool. These schools must also have a student selected as one of the 400 State Finalists. We will also be looking at the highest cumulative quality scores of the State Finalists doodles as part of the awards criteria. Awards will be announced on March 17, 2010 when we post the 400 State Winners.
If you are interested in this contest be sure to read the full rules here and let me know if you need a hand scanning or uploading artwork.
