Welcome to ThinkQuest ...

An opportunity for students aged 9 to 19 to work together in teams and create websites for this renowned international competition … then to have them published for the world to see in the stunning ThinkQuest Library ... and for some teams to win some rather attractive prizes along the way!

Success in the international competition last year [3rd prize in the 12 and under age division] brought the Barrow Hill Junior School team from London [pictured above] the opportunity of spending a week in San Francisco with other international winners, and some wonderful prizes for team members!

Read the Barrow Hill Experience by the Team's Coach, Kelly Rayson [Word document] ...

And for additional inspiration, read about the experiences of other successful international teams ...

International winners 2008 ...

Everyone's a winner!  Do visit the ThinkQuest Library to view all UK and international websites which are now contributing to this amazing learning and teaching resource for students and their teachers! 

Now is the time to GET THINKING!

The next international competition launches on 15 August 2008 ... so now is a good time for students to organise themselves into teams [different schools and different countries encouraged] .. start thinking about their topics ... and decide on a project management strategy! 

And teams should note that they require an adult [teacher] to act as their coach and mentor, and to register participants on the ThinkQuest international website ...
