Google Games 2014: Snapshot of a Google Games Champion

June 9, 2014

Why are students dressed in shoulder pads and parachute pants furiously building towers out of straws, answering trivia questions, coding their hearts out, and using all of their brain power to solve puzzles? Because it’s The Google Games, that’s why!

The Google Games, Google’s annual invitational competition, was held at 14 locations this year and celebrated the Greats of the 1980s. This year, the Google Games came to Capital City (better known as Washington, D.C.) where students from Howard University, Gallaudet University, George Washington University, and University of the District of Columbia battled it out. This year’s Capital City winner was Gallaudet University’s “Loud Hands,” which consisted of team members Trudaline McNece, Timothy Yu, Luis Figueroa-Montanez, Wesley Layton, and Larwan Berke.

We’re bringing you an insider look at this winning team, as told by team captain Trudaline, on what it takes to be the champion of The Google Games.
