CREST Awards
CREST is Britain’s largest national award scheme for project work in the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) run by the British Science Association. It gives young people aged 11-19 opportunities to explore real world projects in an exciting way. CREST links closely to the curriculum and is a great way to make STEM creative and engaging – both in and out of the class.
For students, CREST Awards are a tangible recognition of success. They can be included in personal records of achievement – and used to enhance applications to universities, colleges and potential employers. They can link into work experience placements, after-schools clubs or several linked schemes. Some projects might be done in one day – others over several months. Students can investigate or design and make, research a subject, or design a science communication project.
CREST Awards are offered at 3 levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Find out more information in the CREST guide or speak to the EBF team on 0115 9601540. CREST Investigators is the British Science Association's Primary award scheme that enables children aged 5 to 12 to solve scientific problems through practical investigation.
