About Crest Awards
The CREST Awards are a STEM program established by the British Science Association (BSA) in 1986. They aim to encourage young people to think and act like scientists and engineers. Through inquiry-based project work, students apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems, leveraging their curiosity and initiative, continuously develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and innovative thinking abilities.
Furthermore, participants who complete the CREST Awards project receive an official certification. The CREST Awards certificate is competitive for applications to top universities like the University of Cambridge, scholarship applications, and securing internships in research institution laboratories.
Crest Awards 是由英国科学协会（BSA, British Science Association）于1986年创设的STEM项目，旨在鼓励年轻人像科学家和工程师一样思考和行动。学生可以通过探究性的项目工作，将理论知识应用到实际问题中，发挥好奇心和行动力,不断培养批判性思维、问题解决能力和创新思辨技能。
此外，参与Crest Awards项目并完成项目后将获得官方认证证书。CREST Awards证书在剑桥大学等顶尖院校申请、获得奖学金以及进入科研机构实验室实习等具有竞争力。
