Riding the Crest of the Wave
'Crest' is an international awards scheme, designed to encourage school students to apply their knowledge to solving practical problems. The scheme meets IPENZ's goals in that it supports the technology curriculum and helps to promote careers in engineering and technology to young people. It offers students a chance to think creatively, and to develop the practical and technical skills that scientists and technologists must employ alongside their theoretical knowledge. And it helps them to bridge the gap between academic learning and the world beyond school.
