Our school has been registered to enter the Doodle 4 Google Competition.
The major prize includes the winning design being hosted on Google Australia’s homepage for 24 hours, a personal laptop for the winner and $10 000 worth of technology for their school.
Entries close on 4th September, but since schools can only submit 8 designs, student designs will need to be submitted to Mrs Keir by no later than Wednesday 26/08/09. Entries will be judged by the Computing Faculty with the winning 8 designs forwarded on to Google.
This year’s theme is “My Wish for Australia”. In addition to the doodle, entrants will also need to write a title and supporting statement (50 word limit).
Examples of other Google doodles are posted on the notice board outside the A7 Computer Lab and can also be viewed online. A7 will be open during lunch on Thursday 20/08/09, Tuesday 25/08/09 and Wednesday 26/06/09 for students wishing to use the computers in creating their doodles.
While computer drawing/design softwares can be utilised, doodles may also be created using pencil, crayons, felt tip pens or paint.
All students have been e-mailed details about the Doodle 4 Google Competition. Students wanting more information about this competition can either click on the link below or see Mrs Keir in either the Student Welfare Office or the Mathematics Staff Room.
