Code and rescue STEM resource

The aim of our resources is to inspire the next generation of engineers by showcasing how STEM skills can positively impact society.

About the resource

Code and Rescue can be delivered using the Crumble controller or other programmable electronic devices. These are used to control motors, lights and sensors in each activity. Each activity includes step-by-step visual guides on how to use the Crumble.

Students can explore the world of engineering and learn about the diverse roles engineers play, while developing essential transferable skills such as problem solving, teamwork, communication and social awareness.

This resource includes a teacher guide and student booklet, plus supporting case studies.

The Crumble Controller

The Crumble is a programmable controller that can be coded to drive outputs such as motors and lights known as sparkles. It uses crocodile leads for simple connections and once programmed it can be easily embedded into a design or product.

All the Crumble software is available for free to download from redfern.co.uk.

The 'getting started guide' available from the Redfern website is an excellent starting point for those that haven't used Crumble before or need a refresher!
