The Creating Equity in STEAM (CrEST) umbrella of programs aims to engage youth in critical thinking in the context of research. CrEST has a strong focus on BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) students and educators and those from other historically excluded groups.
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.
