What is it?

The CREST Awards scheme is the British Science Association’s flagship programme for young people. CREST is a scheme that inspires young people to think and behave like scientists and engineers. Your work as a team can be put towards achieving a CREST Award based on your success in the competition.

What Can YOU Achieve?

Gold (application required)

Professional Class*

If you competed in the UK National Finals, completed over 70 hours of work and think you can meet the CREST criteria at Gold level, you could consider entering for CREST Gold. This is the highest level of award on offer from CREST and while your work does not guarantee you will qualify for this award, UK National Finalists often have a strong case due to the volume of work generated from Regional to National level.
