Update on the Waterboys

As may have read in a previous post. A group of SERC student named the "Waterboys" were working remotely in order to submit an application for the prestigious Catalyst Inc Invent Programme 2020.

The group, who are currently studying Level 3 National Foundation Diploma in Applied Science, have been informed that they have made it through to the qualifying round of Catalyst's Invent 2020, which will take place May 11. During a Zoom call tomorrow, the group will be briefed on what they need to to for this and what format it will take.

They have also made it to the finals of ECO-UNESCO's Young Environmentalist Award 2020 and will find out the result on 21st May 2020. (A development from the semi finals which we covered on Friday).They had already completed an online application for this and are waiting to see if they need to do anything extra. They have only been asked for a photo and project summary for the final to date.
