How did ThinkQuest come to be?
In 1998, Oracle Corporation created an email and web service for schools in the UK and US, called Think.com. Oracle continued to add features to Think.com and launched the service in more countries, creating a comprehensive online learning community with membership that spanned the globe. In 2005, sponsorship of Think.com was transferred to the Oracle Education Foundation (OEF). In 2008, OEF integrated Think.com with ThinkQuest (an international competition operated by OEF since 2002) to create a single program under the ThinkQuest brand. Today, ThinkQuest is proud to support 397,000 children in 60 countries.
