CREST Awards (11-19 year olds)
CREST (Creativity in Science and Technology) is the national award scheme for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM), run by the British Science Association and established over 23 years ago. Through CREST, young people aged 11-19 explore the real nature of STEM by doing their own creative project work.
A key strength of the scheme is that it encourages projects with strong industry or academia links. For the student, the award itself is a tangible recognition of success, which can be included in their personal record of achievement and used to enhance applications to universities, colleges and potential employers.
The British Science Association has launched CREST Star Investigators for 5-12 year olds. CREST Star Investigators activities have been developed to ensure a smooth transition to secondary CREST.
