Google announced the National winner in its annual Doodle 4 Google competition. Makenzie Melton, a 3rd-grader from El Dorado R-2 Schools, had her artwork chosen from over 33,000 submissions to be named the national winner. Makenzie’s doodle will be displayed on the Google homepage on May 27, 2010 and she will take home a $15,000 college scholarship and a $25,000 technology grant for her school. Makenzie’s winning doodle depicted a rainforest habitat because if she could do anything, she would save all the endangered animals in the rainforest.
Another winner!
The annual competition, open to K-12 students across the U.S., challenged students to design a Google logo inspired by the theme “If I Could Do Anything, I Would….” Entries in this year’s competition reflected the exploration of earth and space, the discovery of new medicines and environmental cures, and the hope for a better world, among many others.
