SEAPERCH
Aquatic Robots
SeaPerch is a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), a competition, and a community.
The ROV
SeaPerch engages students and fosters key 21st century skills including critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity.
Take a Dive
The SeaPerch Competition engages students in inquiry-based learning with real-world applications.
Valuable Learning
When this learning is tangible and connected to the real world, the impacts can be profound.
Why Underwater Robotics?
Builds Teamwork
Underwater robotics teaches students the importance of teamwork and communication as they work to pilot their ROV. Students must build and then problem solve various real life issues as it relates to creating a submersible vehicle that is capable of traversing various obstacles.
STEAM Education
Teams get to build and practice piloting their ROVs. They develop STEAM competencies along the way through step-by-step assembly of the frame, mechanical and electrical components of the ROV. Students learn about buoyancy, acceleration, speed, engineering, circuitry and propulsion as they build and customize their ROVs.
Future Success
Regular attendance instills valuable habits such as punctuality, responsibility, and commitment, which are essential for success in life.
