Hope for education

Samsung is holding an annual Hope for Education contest. The contest invites students from schools across the country to write a 100-word essay about how technology benefits and helps education. This year's question asks students: "How has technology educated you on helping the environment and how or why has it changed your behavior to be more environmentally friendly?" Essays should focus on:

1. How current or emerging technologies increase your awareness and understanding of environmental issues, and cause you to make environmentally friendly changes in your life.
2. How technology products can be made, used and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
3. Why technology will play an increasingly important role in educating people and helping them to change their lives in an environmentally responsible way.

This year's top winner receives a grand prize of over $200,000 worth of Samsung technology, Microsoft software and cash grants from DIRECTV, as well as the School Choice® educational television programming package (BoardBuzz's imagination runs wild with what students could accomplish with that!). Entries are open now. The contest will run until August 31, 2008.
