Make IT Happen 2008
The 2008 Make IT Happen competition is now closed. Thanks to everyone who took part in this year's competition - details of the 2009 competition will be released in the New Year so stay tuned! In the meantime, take a look at the 2008 Winners and news of October's prize giving ceremony at Parliament.
The Make IT Happen competition is for primary school students aged nine to eleven, 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 of Engineering and Technology (IET).
‘Make IT Happen 2008’ called on schools to use technology to describe how they would change an aspect of their local community for the better. Schools were encouraged to focus on an issue they really care about, such as tackling bullying or littering, helping to improve the local environment or supporting their community.
