What is CREST award? • The CREST award is like DofE for Science and technology. • You can choose your own project to do, or you can come and join in with the science activities that are being run to work towards either a Gold, Silver or Bronze award.
What will the activities be? Finger printing running on custard Rockets Dragster racers Solar power cars Slime Crystal growing Fire Writing Giant bubbles Flying saucers musical instruments Dancing flames Chromatography Astronomy Got a better idea? Come and speak to us!
Why should I come? • You will have the chance to explore your own science projects. • Universities, Colleges and Employers recognize the CREST award, for its independent learning, challenge and commitment.
What do I have to do? • All you have to do is decide on a project or experiment. • Research how best to complete your project and keep your research as evidence. • Carry out your project and evaluate it. • You can even use projects you are doing in other enrichments in science, maths, technology or engineering.
You will also have the opportunity to take part in national science and engineering competitions- you may even be able to submit your project!
UCAS endorse CREST Awards for inclusion in students’ personal statements – they’re well regarded, high-quality and a tangible recognition of success. Last year alone, over 28,000 CREST Awards were undertaken – giving 11-19yr olds opportunities to explore real-world projects in an exciting way. CREST can link into work experience placements, after-schools clubs or numerous linked schemes. Students can investigate or design and make, research a subject, or design a science communication project.
