About the Project

This project will support an after-school STEM program. Through engaging, hands-on challenges like building water bottle rockets, solar-powered cars, and stop-motion animations, students will develop confidence, creativity, collaboration, and critical problem-solving skills. CREST is committed to equity, offering free access to all students, including those from underrepresented and diverse backgrounds. Participants will work in inclusive, multi-grade teams, compete in regional events, and benefit from mentorship by STEM professionals. The program strengthens school-community connections through family involvement, public showcases, and collaborative events, fostering a culture of curiosity, STEM engagement, and long-term academic success.
