CREST Awards
CREST (CREativity in Science and Technology) is a UK-wide Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) award scheme managed by the British Science Association. Through CREST, young people aged 11-19 explore the real nature of STEM by doing their own creative problem solving through mini projects.
CREST awards are available in two subject areas - Science or Technology - at three levels:
-
10 hours of project work
-
Typically completed by 11-14 year olds
-
40 hours of project work
-
Typically completed by 14-16 year olds
-
100 hours of project work
-
Typically completed by 16+ year olds
The levels are progressive but can be awarded separately at any stage. The differentiated levels enable youngsters of all abilities to experience positive achievement in Science, Engineering, Technology and Maths (STEM) and cover many of the required key skills in the process.
