Hear from our community
At CREST, our greatest pride comes from the voices of those who have experienced the journey first hand. Whether it’s a teacher guiding their students through an inspiring project or a student discovering their passion for STEM, the impact of CREST Awards is best told through the stories of those who’ve lived it.
"We don't normally do science in class. We're normally just doing maths, literacy, and spelling. This is more fun!"
"CREST has made it easy to engage pupils with sustainable topics thanks to the great bank of activities to choose from and the CREST grant scheme. The Awards encourage them to act like real-life scientists, allowing them to shine whilst gaining valuable critical thinking skills and taking responsibility for their own learning."
"The lessons you get taught (in STEM sessions) are just amazing. When we did the spinners, we learnt about leadership and stuff. Doing the rafts (Crafty Rafts), we learnt about craftsmanship. It’s really good."
