The CREST Star Award is a nationally recognised body and STEM award which encourages children to explore STEM in an accessible way.
It aims to connect with children’s everyday experiences, making STEM fun and relatable. After completing at least six activities, children can earn a Star CREST Award. It does this through a structured yet adaptable scheme.
To achieve a CREST Star Award, each individual participant engages in a range of activities and documents them in their own learning journal (children who cannot yet read or write will need a parent to help them).
SESSION STRUCTURE:
☕️ 1pm-1:10pm: Make a hot drink and introduce the challenge for the day and explain to the children what they will need to do.
🔬 1:15pm-2:15pm: Nature STEM experiment
📝 2:15pm-2:30pm: Write up activities in their journals
🔥 2:30pm-3:30pm: Explore & play in our Forest School & toast snacks on the campfire
