Description:
Here at GeekExtreme, we are proud to discuss the wonders and advancements in technology that you and I can afford, and we hope to share our passion with you. Technology has made our lives a lot easier, dealing with mundane tasks and giving us more time to focus on more important aspects of our day to day activities. These gadgets can be used in a wide variety of things, but most importantly, these devices play a role in our daily routines. Either work, hobby, or school, technology helps their masters get even against the odds put against them by an ever-present busy workload. Alas, technology provides indispensable aid for people in all walks of life.

We also know the burden that students have to face daily, and through our own experiences, understand the immensity of what a laptop or phone can present in making school work or organization a bit easier. We know the importance of school in a person’s growth, but also understand the obstacles that plague students globally. No matter where you are, a student’s worst enemy is one and the same – money. Monetary barriers will be at a student’s doorstep the minute they even consider pursuing their education. Expenses can ambush you at every corner, from the student lodging – either in-university or through an apartment, to food expenses, countless books and paperwork, and the actual fees for the courses you want to take; it can be a tough road ahead financially.

We are proud to open an annual essay writing contest for our readers and their loved ones, with the main goal of assisting students in their expenses wherever they may be. Simply create an essay and you may get the chance to win a 500 USD Scholarship for any school of your choice!

The challenge we are offering is a simple one. Tell us how you think modern everyday technology can be used or integrated in improving an ongoing environmental problem concerning your local area, a specific area involved in the news, or the planet as a whole. Impress us with your idea and your passion for today’s latest technological trends, and you just might be selected as the winner of this yearly event! The winner gets 500 USD for the school of their choice, which they can use in that institution for whatever purpose they see fit. The deadline will be the 1st of June annually, with one winner being chosen by our staff on the first week of July.
