Winner: Divyanshi Singhal - DPS, Gurgaon.
Doodle in her words: “When I grow up, I hope the trees could walk or fly. The land could be cleared so easily without making them die. There would be so little deforestation and humans can just ask trees and their friends to move to another place. With movable oxygen generators, it will be the beginning of a new era.”

Doodle in her words: “In my Doodle, I demonstrated what inspires me. I am extremely inspired by Space Exploration as there is still so much more to know about our Universe -- from planets to stars to galaxies and beyond. It is inspiring to learn how small we are, and how small our problems are, in the grand scheme of things. To convey my idea, I drew myself trying to see the expanse of the space through a telescope, I created galaxies, planets and spacecraft to represent the vastness of things in space. (carefully arranged to represent each letter in the Google logo).”
