REMEMBER WHEN DOODLING was frowned upon at school? Not so for the winning entry to the Doodle 4 Google competition, which was just announced this afternoon.
The overall winner was six-year-old Layla Karpuz, a senior infants student from Dublin: her doodle will appear on the Google Ireland homepage on Wednesday. Her school, Mary Mother of Hope Junior National School in Dublin 15, also wins a €10,000 technology grant and Layla and her schoolteacher each get a personal laptop.
This year’s competition to design a doodle for Google was themed, ‘To me, happiness is…’ Layla said:
My picture is about the things that make me feel happy. In my picture you can see love hearts, curls, shamrocks, people with fancy hats, people going on a bear hunt, grass men, plants, shamrock plants for Ireland, grannies and a caterpillar because I like searching for caterpillars. I used different colours in my picture because it looks nice. I like my picture!
Aw.
