Awesome Squiggles is a global art project where classrooms create original art based on four squiggly lines and then share their artwork with others.

There are 2 levels of participation from which you can choose:

• LEVEL 1 - Students create the artwork, and the teacher shares it via Twitter using the hashtag #awesomesquiggles.
  
• LEVEL 2 - Classrooms will be partnered with another similarly-aged classroom to share artwork through Skype. If you are interested in collaborating with another class, please register here by March 9th. Skype calls will be held between March 12th and April 6th.

This year's squiggles are pictured above. :)

Create your own music with Google's new Song Maker tool. You can select and modify the instrument, the tempo, and more! You can also sing into the microphone to add notes.
