ThinkQuest Junior Inspired by the success of ThinkQuest, ThinkQuest Junior is a program that engages the strong interest of younger students in computers and the Internet. New for 1997, ThinkQuest Junior is for girls and boys in grades 4 through 6 who work together in teams of up to six students. Coached by their teachers, teams build Web-based educational materials. Prizes include cash and equipment awards to both students and their teachers. More than a contest, it represents a new model for learning and teaching.
