An issue I haven't clarified is the size of each task. There's a mention on how tasks have deadlines attached, but not what's the normal deadline for each task. A certificate for one task and a T-shirt for three tasks make it look like they would be “big”, even though my first impression was that they would be small. Also, we must have enough tasks for during 1.5 months. I don't know how many people would sign up for our tasks, but we shouldn't get out of tasks in the first week (or we may, and finish the mentors labour...). We can always reuse tasks in some hackaton, if they were too much. My concern is in making up many tasks.
The tasks should take a "normal" contributor of the project about 2 hours. The kids can of course take more than that. It's not a hard rule but a guideline to give you some idea of what Google would like to see.
