Good morning,
The British Science Association (BSA) has recently opened an invitation to tender for a new role in the CREST Awards network –regional CREST Support Organisation (rCSO).
We are looking for individuals or organisations to promote and support CREST Awards in a region.
About CREST Awards
The CREST Awards scheme is the BSA’s flagship programme for young people, providing a flexible STEM project framework that inspires and engages 5-to-19-year-olds. The CREST Awards scheme
has a longstanding legacy, with the BSA celebrating 30 years of CREST in 2017.
During a CREST Award project, students take on the roles of scientists, researchers, engineers and designers to pursue their own ideas. It is the antithesis of 'recipe'-style science.
No CREST project is identical. Even when set the same brief, students produce unique, creative solutions and ideas to tackle the problem.
More information about CREST Awards is available at
www.crestawards.org.
About the role
The rCSO will actively promote and support CREST Awards in their region, for, on average, one working day per week.
This involves:
The rCSO will be paid a flat fee of £4,500 per year, per region. The BSA will also pay yearly bonuses based on the increase in number of Awards sold - £1000 for a 50% increase on the
region’s previous yearly sales, and £2250 for a 100% increase.
View our website if you would like more information about the role, the
regions you can apply for, and how to apply.
Best wishes,
Neil
