Making a Mint

All Making a Mint Packs for 2008 have now gone!

Planet Science and NESTA Future Innovators Team are running Making a Mint again and this time you get more time to order, plant, grow and use your mint.

This is a mintastic opportunity for
7 – 14 year olds to win £1000 for the school or clubhouse in either Amazon or Garden Vouchers.

If you aren't in the
UK you're welcome to do the project but sorry, can't post to you and you won't be eligible for the prizes. Download materials instead.

Your mission as per last year is to grow your mint, then add as much value to it as possible, sell it and record the process.

The judges will be looking for a winning combination of growing success, good ideas and money making know-how, it might not be the team who make the most money who wins!
