On Thursday, it will be the artwork of local middle school student Christin Engelberth. The Harris Middle School sixth-grader is the winner of the national Doodle 4 Google competition, which asked students to design their own Google artwork inspired by the theme “What I wish for the world.”

More than 28,000 kids entered the competition, according to a press release.
