The Doodle 4 Google Contest -- Our Picks at Comics in Education!

4/30/2014
by Glen Downey, Comics in Education, www.comicsineducation.com

Some Amazing Inventions by Some Amazing Students...

As an organization that has a passionate interest in visual narrative in education, and a love of all things that marry visual art with the written word, we're over the moon with the Doodle 4 Google contest. Cedar Creek Publishing sent me a tweet this morning about it and I went to the site to check out the artwork. Talk about phenomenal!

All of the entrants should be immensely proud of their work. The contest is divided into grade categories and has students redesigning the Google logo. Here are the rules for this year's contest, courtesy of Google!

This year's theme:
If I Could Invent One Thing to Make the World a Better Place... 


Before there was an airplane, there were doodles of cool flying machines. And before there was a submarine, there were doodles of magical underwater sea explorers. Since the beginning of time, ideas big and small, practical and playful, have started out as doodles. One talented young artist (grades K-12) will see his or her artwork on the Google homepage and receive a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 Google for Education technology grant for his or her school. 

Okay, okay ... so who did we vote for?

There were so many wonderful illustrations, but these are the ones that Comics in Education voted for!

My Time Machine (K-3 Category)
Charles Seagle, Mokulele Elementary School, HI

Back to Mother Nature (Gr. 4-5 Category)
