The very first recipients of a CREST Award achieved through the Participatory Science Platform are Year 7 and 8 students at Egmont Village School for their work on the project Bug Alert! In this project, the students are investigating whether a change in wetland vegetation resulted in a change in the abundance and diversity of aquatic macro-invertebrates and terrestrial invertebrates.

The students received a Team First CREST award.
