Entries are now open for the 2008 Make IT Happen competition which is for primary school pupils aged 9-11, across the UK.
The competition is organised by the Parliamentary Information Technology Committee (PITCOM) in partnership with e-skills UK (the sector skills council for IT and telecoms) and the Institution for Engineering and Technology (IET).
Make IT Happen 2008 calls on schools to use technology, such as audio-visual materials, web pages or interactive posters, to describe how they would change an aspect of their local community for the better.
The competition prizes are being supported by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). Cash prizes will be available for the winning school from each of the English Regions and Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. In addition, £4500, £2500 and £1500 will be awarded to three overall winners.
The closing date for entries is 13 July 2008. Winning schools will be notified and invited to come to the Houses of Parliament for an awards ceremony in October.
