It's time to let the world know you are truly the champions of Mouse Squad by proving yourselves in the Mouse Squad of the Year competition! Tell us why your squad is the best in the country. Whether you crack cases, do MicroProjects or build robots we want to hear about it. Tell us a story that exemplifies why your squad is the Mouse Squad of the Year for 2013!

Winning squads will receive a plaque honoring their school and other secret awesome prizes like a pizza party or a Best Buy gift certificate, Mouse tee-shirts and possibly more. But don't do it for the prizes--do it for the glory.

Click here to apply for Mouse Squad of the Year by Friday, May 31st.

Last year's winners were the two Squads from PS 43 in Queens, NY: the Codebreakers and the Nerdy Bulldogs. They fix computers, upgrade internet browsers, install printers, and much more technical work as well. Besides keeping things running, the Codebreakers even write a monthly newsletter that talks about technology interests at the school.

On the other hand, our winner for Best New Mouse Squad last year was the The Mouse Squad at SISCL from the Staten Island School for Civic Leadership in Staten Island, NY. This squad keeps a school of 750 students running with only two laptop carts, and they even run a community help desk!

Applications close Friday, May 31st, 2013, and winners will be announced in June. To see the full winner's post from last year click here. May the best Squad win!
