to develop educational websites on topics of their choosing and a Narrative Competition that challenges student teams to publish their ideas on topics of global importance using OEF’s ThinkQuest Projects platform.

Muhammad, Muznah and Rida of Generation’s School collaborated with students in Singapore to create a website called “Portable Partners—Friends or Foes”, which examined common mobile devices used by young people.

“The Oracle Education Foundation is pleased to recognize the outstanding achievements of all the students who participated in the ThinkQuest Competitions,” said Clare Dolan, Vice President, Oracle Corporate Citizenship.

“These students developed skills that are critical for success in the 21st century while producing outstanding educational resources that will benefit their peers globally.”

“ThinkQuest was a challenging yet enjoyable experience for me.

It was an honor for me not only to compete on an international platform, but also to represent Pakistan,” said Muhammad, a student team member from Generation’s School. “My teammates and I gave it our best shot to make our website a worthy contestant in ThinkQuest. The news about our victory was a complete surprise and I would like to acknowledge my teammates and coaches for their hard work and guidance.”

Prizes for winning teams include laptop computers, digital cameras, school grants, and a trip to the awards event in the San Francisco Bay Area.
