Students have shown us in
past competitions what they're capable of, and this time you can compete with the world community-at-large for a chance to help your town's local school district, and become a local hero.
By creating a 3D portrait of your community and sharing it with the world, you have the power to get your town on the map – and there's no bigger map than
Google Earth. Show the planet what's special about your town by creating 3D models of the buildings in your community using either
Google SketchUp or
Google Building Maker and submit your entry by March 1, 2012. You can model as many structures as you like – which types of buildings you choose to include is entirely up to you. The important thing is that your choices say something about the character and history of your town.
Here's some inspiration by way of the 2010 winner, Jorge De Albertis, from Lima, Peru (just to get your creative juices flowing):
We can't wait to see what you create. Here's how to
get started.
