K-12 students in Georgia are invited to have their very own Google doodle showcased on www.google.com through the Doodle 4 Google competition. The theme for this year’s competition is: “If I could invent one thing to make the world a better place…” Creating the best doodle comes with major perks: the winning doodle will be displayed on Google’s homepage; the winner will receive a $30,000 college scholarship; and a $50,000 technology grant will be awarded to the student’s school. The winner also will become an honorary Google doodler for a day and animate their doodle with team Google in Mountain View. Students can submit doodles until March 20, and winners will be announced from every state on April 29. Last year’s Georgia winner was Christine Jeong from John’s Creek.
