 Doodle 4 Google!
Doodle 4 Google!

Google is encouraging ICT in South African classrooms, having announced a R100 000 technology prize that is up for grabs by schools involved in its “Doodle 4 Google” competition.

Google has invited students to design a doodle – an artistic version of the Google logo – depicting the “South Africa of my dreams”. A panel of judges is set to choose finalists before the company asks the public to vote for the four best entries. An overall winner will be selected and that doodle will be live on Google SA’s home page for a day.

The Doodle 4 Google competition is open for learners between the ages of six and 17, and the deadline for entry submissions is 22 October. Forms are available on the competition’s Web site.
