What is a CREST Student? 

A CREST student is curious, driven, and ready to explore the unknown. These are students who see a problem and feel the urge to solve it, who ask “why?” and won’t stop until they find the answer.

CREST students are:

• Passionate about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

• Eager to take on challenges and willing to take risks.

• Problem-seekers and problem-solvers.

• Confident enough to persevere when things get tough, yet humble enough to ask questions and learn from others.

• Team players who know how to lead when needed and collaborate when it matters most.

• Be comfortable taking risks.
