Bronze award: design a game controller
In this project, students need to research all the various types of controllers available and set about designing their own. They are not expected to be able to design and make the electronic circuitry to make them work, but they can make a scale model of their design.
Bronze award: design and make a wooden pendant
In this project students' goal is to design and make a wooden pendant necklace for a friend. They will cut and shape wood to make the pendant and look at different ways of colouring it. Students will also decide which material to use for the necklace chain.

Bronze award: How do nutrients affect plant growth?
Despite the high rate of growth in rainforests the soil is poor in nutrients. The nutrients have been washed out of the soils by heavy rainfall. In this project, students are going to investigate how the nutrients in compost affect the rate of growth of seedlings.
Bronze award: How do rockets work?
In this activity students build a model rocket from a kit and test it works
They can investigate the effect of differing engine size or measure the maximum altitude reached by a rocket by using a clinometer and a long tape measure or trundle wheel ...

Bronze award: Introduce a ‘waste-free’ lunch programme
The idea of this project is for students to introduce a school lunch programme to their school or college and encourage pupils to use recycled or re-usable packaging for their lunches. Students produce a leaflet or poster presentation explaining why it’s important to cut down on waste and suggest types of reusable...
Bronze award: machine learning
This CREST Bronze level resource pack focuses on Machine Learning, with a variety of project ideas enabling students to investigate machine learning in a real-life context, exploring innovative ideas and solutions for the future, such as:
- Digital technologies supporting healthcare
- Artificial...
Bronze award: protection and prevention
This resource consists of three projects:
- Research: mosquitos and disease
Students think about which diseases are spread by mosquitos, how they are spread, what can be done to control the spread, and what treatments are available for people who contract the diseases....
