Oracle Education Foundation Invites Students and Teachers to
Take Part in ThinkQuest  International

Deadline: April 16, 2007

The Oracle Education  Foundation ( http://www.oraclefoundation.org/ )
has announced the opening of  a new ThinkQuest competition,
ThinkQuest International 2007, and invites  students and teachers
from around the globe to take part in this  collaborative learning
experience.

The educational contest is open to  students between the ages of 
9 and 19 and their teacher-coaches from  anywhere in the world. 
The program promotes collaboration and cross-cultural  learning by
encouraging students to team with peers in other regions  to
develop Web sites on educational topics. In the process of
creating  their site, students learn and practice their skills in
research, writing,  technology, and teamwork. Additionally, the
competing teams have the  opportunity to create Web sites that can
be used as educational resources by  students worldwide as part of
the ThinkQuest Library, available online at:  
http://www.thinkquest.org/library.

All submitted Web sites for  ThinkQuest International 2007 will be
judged by professional  educators.

Winners will receive prizes from the Oracle Education  Foundation,
including laptops and $1,000 school grants for the top ten  teams
in each age division, travel to the annual ThinkQuest Live event
for  the top three teams in each division, and digital cameras for
the team that  receives the Global Perspectives Award.

Students and educators interested  in participating can find
further information at the program's Web  site.
