Overview

Instructables has teamed up with Discover magazine to bring you the Green Science Fair For a Better Planet!

Think green, share what you've learned, and win some great prizes!

You could: build an eco-friendly project, test and compare "green" products, repurpose old parts, or just show us greener way to live.

Put on your lab coat, grab your notebook, and start testing those hypotheses!
