Ever dreamed of creating your own super powers........... *Planet Super Powers! *is a new project aimed at /*5 to 14 year olds */from Planet Science at NESTA . The project is inviting young people to create a new generation of scientific superhero(in)es and villain(esse)s. The two competition categories are: 1. best character design <http://www.planet-science.com/psp/home.html#character_design> (when out working what do superheroes and villains wear these days?) 2. best science based super power <http://www.planet-science.com/psp/home.html#science_based> (a futuristic science based super power that could be science fact in 70 years time - not science fiction!) The winners will see their character and super powers brought to life in the 'Battle for Planet Science' comic strip by top comic strip artist Graham Manley. /*Closing date for the competition is the 9th of January 2009*/.
