Our neighbors to the North are celebrating turning 150 years young and Google is helping them kick of the party with a bang. K-12 students from across Canada are being invited to create a Google Doodle to celebrate the country’s 150th birthday with a chance to win some big prizes for themselves as well as their school
The Doodle 4 Google theme is “What I see for Canada’s future is…” and is open to eligible K-12 students. For teachers and parents, the Doodle 4 Google site offers classroom and brainstorming activities to help inspire students to “express their creativity through a doodle.”
The contest will run now through May 2nd with finalists being announced May 22nd. From there, the public is invited to vote for group winners and a National Winner. The winning submission will be displayed as the official Google Doodle on Google.ca on June 14th.
Prizes for group finalist will be a new Chromebook. For each grade group winner, on top of a Chromebook each student will receive a trip to the final event on June 13th and $5,000 technology grant for their school.
The National Winner will receive a Chromebook, a $10,000 technology grant for their school and a $10,000 University scholarship. Oh yeah, not to mention their Doodle will be front and center on Google’s homepage.
Pretty awesome, indeed.
