THINKQUEST

ThinkQuest is a Kentucky category at STLP State. Your school can also become involved in the international competition for students 9-19 years old.
The ThinkQuest International Competition challenges students to solve a real-world problem by applying their critical thinking, communication, and technology skills. Three areas to enter your school in an international event: ThinkQuest Projects, Digital Media, and Application Development.
Join ThinkQuest and learn more. The school principal will be asked to verify the school before the school can get the free account and begin working on local and global projects.
Kentucky had two International Winners in 2011.
