Google Doodle Contest

Can you believe a child drew this? Google is doing a "Doodle 4 Google" contest for K-12 students and this drawing by eight-year-old from Indira Mishra from Bluewater Elementary in Niceville, Florida is my personal favorite. Of her time traveling theme, she writes, "Traveling back through time I would visit places and people that I learned about in school and bring things back, like extinct animals and dinosaurs. Traveling to the future I would learn about new inventions and bring things back, like medicines and technology. A time machine would help the world." The winning drawing gets to be featured on the site.
