The ThinkQuest International Competition 2011 challenges students to apply their critical thinking, communication, and technology skills to a real-world problem. Teams research, develop, and test their solution before presenting it to a global audience. Put your ideas and skills to the test in one of the following events:

ThinkQuest Projects
Teams present their solution by creating a project in ThinkQuest Projects, an online learning environment.

Digital Media
Teams present their solution by creating a blog/journal, website, animation, public service announcement, photo essay, video, or some combination of these items.

Application Development
Teams develop a web-based application or game that solves a problem.

Teams can choose any problem to solve and can leverage existing schoolwork across a broad range of curricula, including Writing, Social Studies, Civics, History, Science, Mathematics, Art, and Technology/ICT. See our entry examples for ideas. All entries must be submitted in English.
