Doodles for Google

I’m sure that you would have noticed that from time to time the normal Google logo changes to celebrate an anniversary or special event.

For example during the Beijing's Olympics almost every day brought a new Google logo celebrating the event!

We today’s doodle is celebrating Jules Verne's birthday. If he were alive  today he would be 183 years young!

This doodle is kind of cool as well because if you have an iPad or iPhone when you tilt it the liquid in the design sloshes to either side!

Arguably Mr Verne is most known for his novels such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).

You Can Get Involved

We you can if you have kids and a good relationship with your local school…

Every year Google run a competition in schools around the world (but we’ll only really look at the UK). The competition is broken up into age groups and is to design a topical Doodle for Google!

Every year scores of schools take part with the winners design being featured for a day as the Google Logo!
