students make Internet projects
Thinkquest is an organisation that aims at promoting the use of computers and network technology in education. One of the means applied by Thinkquest to achieve its goals is an organized competition in which students can create their own website, in different categories.Thinkquest  was founded in 1996. Since then, their annual competitions have attracted over 60,000 participants. There are separate programmes for students (Internet Challenge) and youngsters (Thinkquest Junior). Especially the student entries are often beautifully styled and structured and certainly worth having a look at. All competition entries are available and freely accessible on Thinkquest’s website. We picked out a few that we feel should be of interest to our electronics-minded readership.
