Google inspires kids to explore space with 'Doodle 4 Google' winning creation on Children's Day.
Google celebrates Children's Day with a doodle competition for kids on space exploration. This year, the search engine's theme for the day's doodle was "What Inspires You."
‘Children's Day in India is celebrated as a tribute to Jawaharlal Nehru, who was born on November 14, 1889.’
A student from Mumbai, who won the 2018 Doodle, 4 Google competition, showed her fascination with space exploration. The doodle shows a child looking at a sky dotted with stars with a telescope. Pingla Rahul created galaxies, planets, and spacecraft to represent the vastness of things in space carefully arranged to form letters in the Google logo.
There were four more group winners that Google chose: a doodle on farmers, animals, wise monkeys, and a study desk, the Google blog post said.
The winners were chosen by Arun Iyer, famous artist and YouTube Kids Creator Harun Robert, India's leading YouTube Creator Sejal Kumar and the Google Doodles team lead Ryan Germick. Rahul received 300,000 votes from people.
