A project-based awards scheme for the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) delivered in Scotland by TechFest on behalf of the British Science Association. CREST recognises success, and enables students to build their skills and demonstrate personal achievement in project work. It offers educators an easy-to-run framework for curriculum enhancement and is student-led, which means that young people take ownership of their projects and choose to undertake them in areas they enjoy.

Fossils of extinct animals have been studied for hundreds of years. The way scientists study fossils has changed radically in recent years. Digital imaging technology – especially x-ray scanning – allows us to peer through the rock itself and see details we could never have imagined. In this talk we’ll see how CT scanning is used on fossils from the Isle of Skye, including some of the smallest animals in the Jurassic world.
Don't worry if you missed the event! Watch it on our YouTube channel here.
