About Thinkquest

This site was created for Thinkquest. Thinkquest is a fantastic competition that brings students together to create educational websites. Thinkquest's goal is simplet: give students ages 12-18 an incredible "hands-on" "real-world" learning experience, and at the same time populate the web with great educational websites. The experience is simply incredible! You get to select a team of three people from around the world. Then, with the help of a couple of coaches you select, your team has to decide on a topic for the site, and work to make your idea a reality. Through the process you're guaranteed to learn more than you previously knew about team management, working together from around the world, the internet, time management, and, depending on your particular "field": HTML, CGI, research, writing, programming... and the list goes on! Plus you'll make some good friends! As if these aren't benefits enough, Thinkquest gives away over one million dollars in cash and scholarships in prizes every year. So what are you waiting for? Sign up!

For the under qualified

What? you think you're under qualified? Nonsense! No matter what skills you have (or lack), you can make a valuable contribution to your team (you definitely don't have to be a "technology type" person), and the whole idea is to learn as you go. It all depends on you. Are you going to sit idly by and mope about being "incapable?" Or are you going to go out there and have a fantastic experience?
