The ThinkQuest Internet Challenge is an international program for students ages 12 through
19 that encourages them to use the Internet to create information-rich Web-based
educational tools and materials. Students form teams with their colleagues from around the
world and are mentored by teachers or other adult coaches. In the running for scholarships
and awards totaling more than $1 million, student participants learn collaboration,
leadership and critical thinking skills that help raise their level of education and
technological expertise. Awards are handed out across five categories: Arts &
Literature, Science & Mathematics, Social Sciences, Sports & Health and
Interdisciplinary. Finalists travel to the ThinkQuest Awards Weekend where they compete
for the challenge’s top prizes.
