Chances are you’ve seen those alternate versions of the Google logo on its homepage. Some of them are done by kids and called Doodles for Google.
Google program manager and Dallas native Molly Bierman said the students were given one instruction for their doodle -- "I hope for the future."
One doodle came from a student at Elsie Robertson Middle School in Lancaster and boy did it catch the Google team's eyes.
"I was very impressed. I had to double-check the age. I was like, 'This is done by an 8th grader? Wow,'" said Bierman.

That's what she thought after seeing Christelle Matildo's doodle, which includes renewable energy, peace for the LGBTQ community, advances in medicine, environmental protection and space exploration.
"I drew the icebergs the penguins and the polar bears because it's about global warming," said Matildo.
