CREST Awards: Gold
Crest Gold Awards allow students to conduct real research. They are longer-term projects that require around 70 hours’ work and are typically completed by 16-19-year-olds. At Gold level, your students’ work should contribute something new to the scientific or technological community or to a particular field of study.
You will need to register your students through the Crest Award website: http://www.crestawards.org/
