Debbie Abilock "It is important that students bring a certain
The Nueva School ragamuffin barefoot irreverence to their studies;

Hillsborough, CA 94010 but to question it." (Jacob Bronowski)

ThinkQuest is an annual contest that challenges students, ages 12 to
18, to use the Internet as a collaborative, interactive teaching and learning
tool.
ThinkQuest is designed to encourage students from different schools and
different backgrounds to work together in Teams toward creating
valuable educational tools on the Internet while enhancing their
ability to communicate and cooperate in a global, interconnected
environment.
ThinkQuest will help students prepare for a future dramatically
different from today. Students will experience the "Internet style" of
learning, which emphasizes exploration, collaboration and creative
use of the vast resources of the Internet. The quality of the Web
pages inspired by the contest will show how this new and exciting
medium can help millions of students the world over. And, as an
added incentive, students can win awards in the form of college
scholarships (eligible coaches and schools will receive awards in
cash).
