ThinkQuest Competition
• 03 Sep 2009 ThinkQuest Competition: Important Announcement
“The Oracle Education Foundation will not offer its international ThinkQuest Website and Narrative Competitions in 2010.
Having supported K-12 education for the past decade, we are now taking some time to examine how we can best serve students and teachers in the decade ahead. To ensure that we have the resources for this important process, we have decided not to deliver the competition this year.
We will continue to support ThinkQuest Projects, and we invite you to keep contributing to this learning community of over 405,000 students and teachers in 43 countries. We will also continue to support Local
ThinkQuest Competitions.”
