CREST offers educators an easy-to-run framework for curriculum enhancement and is student-led, encouraging young people to take ownership of their own projects. CREST can be run in schools, clubs, youth groups, other organisations or at home.
The Engage Grant is £350 of grant money for your school to run CREST Awards, which you can spend on materials, equipment, a field trip, teacher CPD, and more. Plus, awardees will also receive up to £350 CREST Awards for free.
Engage: Simply CREST BSA want more young people – particularly those most likely to be under-represented in STEM - to have their project work celebrated through getting a CREST Award. BSA don’t want even the relatively low cost of CREST submission fees to be a barrier, so they are offering Engage Simply CREST - a simple way to access free CREST Awards. There is no cash grant - successful applicants who do CREST projects in their school will be get up to £350 CREST Awards for free. That’s enough to recognise and reward a whole year group in many secondary schools, or even a whole primary school. If you’re successful you will receive a voucher code to cover the CREST Award fees (up to £350) due when you submit your students’ CREST Awards.
