Will.I.Am and The Black Eyed Peas played for the 300+ teams, their sponsors, mentors and parents, from more than 50 countries, which had qualified for the finals competition.

The three winning teams were from high schools in Ontario, Canada, Connecticut, and a special school for the deaf in New Jersey.
