Mr. Google! How important would you be if you were a webpage? (Age: 9-18)

Finding information on Google is something that we all consider as given. But what happens before this data reaches our screen? How Google ranks the millions of pages and how does information find its way among Google results? Kids of all ages will use body movement and a piece of chalk to enjoy a game that introduces them to the basic principles that underlie the process of PageRank.
