Google Sketchup Previous Application Showcase

Model your school building using photo-textures in Google SketchUp, geo-reference it in Google Earth and submit it by uploading to the Google 3D Warehouse. Ask for your collection to be added to the Competition Collection, so we know you are entering. You can watch this video that explains how to model. Earn lasting online glory and, for the winners, a Google t-shirt and hat.

Find the guidelines here: http://conference2010.eastproject.org/uploads/Google_Application_Showcase_Competition_2010_working.doc

King EAST Hosts First Annual Basketball Competition


In Mrs. Harris's 5th Grade Class, a group of girls wanted to help pets and a group of boys wanted to have a basketball competition to benefit a charity. The facilitator suggested they join forces. After submitting proposals to the school principal and presenting to the PTA Fall Fest Committee, Points 4 Paws/Caring 4 Animals joined forces to impact over 200 students and adults at the PTA sponsored Fall Fest through a basketball competition and by dispersing brochures and information cards about pet adoption through Care For Animals and listed regulations concerning pets in the City of Little Rock. The groups hope to have a Spring Event with basketball and a week of activities devoted to pets.
