The UCSC CrEST umbrella of programs aims to engage youth in critical thinking in the context of research.
CrEST is self-sustaining through the support of our generous network of donors. Gifts to the CrEST fund help keep most of our programs free to participants, provide need-based scholarships to participants in our fee-based programs, and help us to globally grow our work toward our mission of advancing equity in STEAM fields.
