Marquette High School freshman Lucy Zhu is the statewide Doodle 4 Google contest winner for 2014.

The competition is open to students in kindergarten through grade 12 nationwide to create their own Google doodle inspired by the theme, “If I could invent one thing to make the world a better place...”

Google doodles are special versions of the Google logo used on the search site's homepage on holidays and to commemorate various events.

Zhu drew, as she describes it, “a solar-powered machine that can harness tornadoes before they hit cities and tow them to stations to transform them into electricity and water.”

Zhu knew she was the statewide winner but Google representatives were scheduled to come to Marquette High this morning to surprise her with the news.

Zhu, a talented artist, painted a mural at Crestview Middle School as an eighth grade student and has won various contests for her work, according to Google. She will take Advanced Placement art as a sophomore, which is “extremely rare,” according to Google. Zhu is also deaf and uses a hearing aid and a cochlear implant.
