The results are in for the Doodle 4 Google U.S. competition. Matteo Lopez, an aspiring space explorer, has come out on top.

The second-grader from California won a $15,000 college scholarship and a $25,000 technology grant for his school for his doodle, which played on the theme "What I'd like to do someday." More than 107,000 U.S. school kids grades K-12 entered the competition, the fourth of its kind in the U.S.

"I want to wear a space suit, fly in space, walk on the moon and make friends with aliens (on) other planets," he wrote by way of describing his entry.
