CREST Awards
The STEM NOW team have been delivering the CREST Awards Programme in Hampshire since 2007.
We are delighted to continue our involvement with the CREST Awards in Hampshire. We are also the regional support organisation for 11 other counties across the UK.
CREST Awards are coordinated by the British Science Association and give students an opportunity to get to grips with a hands-on STEM project whilst equipping them with the necessary skills they will need for a career in STEM.
Projects can take place in schools, clubs, youth groups, other organisations or at home. CREST Awards are the only nationally recognised accreditation scheme for project work in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.
There are six CREST Award Levels, allowing students to progress through the scheme throughout their education.
