Want to explore aquatic ROVs (robotic operating vehicles)?
Participants in the STEM SEALs SEA Design Challenge will engineer and build an autonomous operational boat. Through the SEA Challenge students will:
- Learn basic boat building elements for optimal performance
- Understand the function of motors, rudders, and propellers
- Incorporate and code microprocessors into boat design
- Learn how to navigate and steer an autonomous boat
- Develop and execute a robotic boat mission in competition
- Utilize STEM skills, problem solving, and critical thinking
- Work collaboratively with peers and field experts
- Explore career pathways utilizing autonomous vehicles
