CREST Awards: Bronze
CREST Bronze Awards engage and inspire a wide range of students, and introduce them to the language and methods of project work. The flexible framework can be adapted for students of different ages and abilities.
Bronze projects:
• Involve a minimum of 10 hours of work on one project area
• Use scientific and/or technical knowledge appropriate to students aged 11 to 14
• Students share their project outcomes with their peers (e.g. display, assembly, poster)
• Have active support from an educator: guiding students but allowing them to make decisions for themselves, reviewing progress regularly and supporting planning to maintain the pace of progress
