We need your help now to make a difference to a child’s
education. The British Science Association is a charity that is
committed to inspiring the UK’s future scientists and engineers.
One of the ways we do this is through our CREST Star
Investigators scheme. CREST Star Investigators is a UK wide
awards scheme designed to enable children aged five to eleven to
solve science, technology, engineering and maths problems
through practical investigation. We currently reach 10% of UK
primary schools, and an estimated 60,000 young people complete a
CREST Star award every year. An external evaluation demonstrated
that CREST Star not only increased enthusiasm for science among
children, but also improved thinking, talking and listening
skills. We are launching a major redevelopment of CREST Star
Investigators to expand the reach and accessibility of the
scheme and ensure its future, however we still have a £26,000
shortfall. Your contribution will help us achieve our aim to
reach 500 new primary schools a year and to
