Once a year Google invites students in the United States to use their artistic talents to redesign Google’s homepage logo for millions to see.

This year, Google asked students to exercise their creative imaginations around the theme, “What makes me...me.” Micah chose to express his creativity by taking apart a computer and using the pieces to create the Google logo to express that technology makes Micah, Micah. Out of all the submissions Google received, Micah was selected as Connecticut’s state winner.
