Typically completed by 10-14 year olds, students work collaboratively on a five hour project or challenge in self-managed groups. During the project, they use a CREST Discovery passport to record and reflect on their work. Afterwards, students communicate their findings as a group presentation.
Each pack provides teaching guides, kit lists, example timetables and suggested starter activities to help you run your day. Find out more about CREST Discovery Awards.
There are more CREST approved resources that have been developed by our partners and providers specific to your region.
Your Stop the Spread challenge • Imagine you work for a charity and have received some funding to help pupils in a school in Kenya reduce the spread of disease in their school. • Your challenge is to: 1. Build a model of a hand washing device that could go in their playground which will enable them to capture rainwater then use it to wash their hands. 2. Develop education materials which will help children aged 8-11 understand why hand washing is important. This could be a poster, animation, game, play, leaflet.
How will you be judged? You will be judged on the following: • Teamwork – Did you have different roles and work collaboratively? • Research – How did you use your research to help you in your tasks? • Designing – Did you do good, annotated initial and final designs? • Model – How creative was your model? Did you use sustainable material where possible? Did you stick to the budget? How well did it do in the test? • Education Materials – What and how did you communicate to the pupils? Are your materials engaging for 8-11 year olds?
