ThinkQuest Live 2008

Sponsored by the Oracle Education Foundation, ThinkQuest is an international competition that challenges teams of students to create innovative and educational Web sites to share with the world. Each year, winning teams travel to ThinkQuest Live, the annual awards event held during Oracle OpenWorld to celebrate the students' accomplishments, expertise, and skill in winning the competition.

During last year's Oracle OpenWorld, approximately 50 students from eight countries, along with their coaches and parents, convened in San Francisco for ThinkQuest Live 2007. This year, the top 10 winning teams will travel to San Francisco to participate in ThinkQuest Live 2008, where they will take part in a series of learning and recreational programs and be honored at the annual awards banquet.

The ThinkQuest competition has been embraced by educators worldwide as an effective way to engage students in online collaborative learning. All qualifying Web sites are published in the popular ThinkQuest Library, a rich online resource visited by millions monthly. To date, more than 6,500 student-built Web sites have been published in the ThinkQuest Library.
