The Competition
The Competition
1 Team 2 Students
In the "Energy Bar Exploration" competition, middle school students will develop the concept, market, and brand a healthy energy bar using readily available ingredients. They begin by exploring nutrition guidelines, creating their "World's Healthiest Energy Bar," and then proceed to design Nutrition Facts labels. Students present their energy bar products, showcasing their understanding of nutrition, marketing, branding, and presentation skills through creative presentations and product development. Students will bring their box designed and four bars wrapped for marketing.
PLEASE NOTE: Students may use Krispy treats or any other bar of their choice. There is NO expectation to bring a homemade energy bar, however that is at the discretion of each team. IF students choose to bring displays or other marketing materials, that is allowed. However, judging will be consistent for EACH team using the criteria listed below (in red).
