Discovery challenges (ages 10-14)


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.

Introduction to CREST Discovery Award CREST Discovery Awards engage and inspire a wide range of students in STEM activities. The flexible framework can be adapted for students of different ages and abilities, and can be used in a range of contexts: • To support primary-secondary transition • For team-building on a collapsed timetable day • As a focus to increase engagement in STEM • As an opportunity for collaboration between school departments • As an activity for a holiday club or youth group. During the project, students will develop skills in self-management, problem solving, team work, research and communication. Look on the CREST Awards website for further information about project ideas, CREST accredited schemes and how to support your students. www.crestawards.org Managed by: Supported by:
