The theme for 2010 is “Get your community online”.
It’s all about rewarding the good work that primary schools are doing to show their communities how to make use of the exciting possibilities of the internet.
There are regional and national cash prizes of up to £5,200 up for grabs for the most innovative, community focused IT projects created by 9 to 11 year olds.
How do we enter?
The competition has now closed in England and Wales. The closing date for Scotland and Northern Ireland is 17th September.
You can enter a project your school is already involved in or has been involved in recently, or start a new project specifically for the Make IT Happy competition.
