Matthew Lee, a sophomore at Monte Verde Elementary in San Bruno, designed the winning logo of the "Doodle 4 Google" competition, which attracted more than 107,000 entries nationwide. On Friday, millions of Internet users will see your logo on the homepage of the research firm based in Mountain View.
Matthew, 7, also received a $ 15,000 grant and a $ 25,000 grant for technology in their school.
"I am excited and happy," said Mateo, who with her mother were at Thursday's ceremony in New York City office of Google and the award must appear on the morning of NBC's "Today" show Friday.
"I love to draw," he said in a telephone interview. "I started drawing when I was 3 years."
This is the fourth Doodle 4 Google contest, held in the United States. Similar competitions have been conducted in other countries around the world, from Ireland to India.
This year's competition challenged students from kindergarten through grade 12 to reach a logo based on the theme "What I would do someday." The designs were judged by a jury of the team of Google's "doodles" and 13 guest judges, including "Garfield" creator Jim Davis, "SpongeBob SquarePants", Tibbitts and producer of children's author Beverly Cleary Paul.
