CREST product development for Welsh schools The British Science Association (BSA) is looking for an individual/organisation to develop 2 new CREST Discovery challenges for schools in Wales. The total budget available is £11K. Ideas will be generated in partnership with Welsh businesses and partners, but these will need to be expanded into quality educational resources that are piloted in 2016 & 2017. The Welsh Discovery Awards One will be inspired by 'innovation and industry' in Wales, and another by 'Welsh heritage and culture'. The new resources will: - Integrate transferable skills into the activities, as well as literacy and numeracy - Be trialled for use as a transition activity hence linking with CREST primary scheme offerings - Be piloted with up to 10 schools/groups of students - Be suitable for use by schools/organisations throughout Wales (i.e. not dependent on visiting a particular site/event) - Be suitable for whole/half year groups to undertake, rather than the small groups of students per school (e.g. clubs) who traditionally have engaged with CREST Awards in the past. Project timetable & budget - Ideas meeting- Late Sept 2015 / early Oct 2015 - Drafts written Oct 2015-Jan 2016 - Pilots start April 2016 - Final designs of activities for wider use beyond the pilot published March 2017 Interested parties should request the full tender document from [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Please contact us with any queries.
