CREST (Creativity in Science and Technology) is the nationwide curriculum enrichment award scheme for project work in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM), run by the British Science Association. Through CREST, young people aged 11-19 explore the real nature of STEM by doing their own creative project work. CREST Awards are available at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels, depending on the amount and depth of work carried out. Visit the website for more information.
The Primary, Secondary and Advanced Leaders Award for STEM is open to all students between the ages of 5 to 19yrs.
To achieve the award the students have to write an application letter to become an ambassador for the school centred around STEM and interview a professional from the disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics. Video interviews can be submitted at any age however a written article must accompany it for pupils over 9yrs. The best articles will be published on the Leaders website and circulated to the organisations that support the aims of the project and the wider press. Help can be given to locate individuals from specific fields /careers.
Guidance notes for teachers and students, links to STEMNET and professionals who could be interviewed, and previous interviews can be found on the website.
Connecting Science is a social network for scientists and science students who want to inspire non-specialists about their work.
