Doodle 4 Google: What I Wish for the World

Doodle 4 Google: What I Wish for the World

On view May 21–July 5, 2009

Doodle 4 Google: What I Wish for the World presents thirty-nine designs selected among tens of thousands of entries submitted by K–12 students from all fifty states in Google's annual "Doodle 4 Google" design competition. Inspired by the theme "What I Wish for the World," children from across the United States were challenged to think like designers and utilize Google's iconic logo as a springboard to convey their message. The submissions represent a vast array of wishes, from environmental conservation to improvements in housing, health, and education. A panel of independent judges and representatives from Google and Cooper-Hewitt selected the top doodles across grade groups, and the public voted for the four National Finalist designs. The winning student's design appeared as the "doodle" of the day on the Google homepage on May 21, 2009.
