CREST

CREST is an international awards scheme, administered here by the Royal Society of New Zealand, which provides a framework to support and enhance students’ educational experience in Science and Technology. CREST encourages students to be innovative, creative and to problem solve. At secondary school level CREST projects can help provide the evidence for assessment against NCEA achievement or unit standards. Year 6-13 students can enter their completed CREST projects into regional Science and Technology fairs, IPENZ Neighbourhood Engineers Awards, Bright Sparks and other educational competitions.
