SeaPerch Competition
Friday, September 28, 2012
Overview
HESTEC is proud to be hosting its first SeaPerch Competition sponsored by the U.S. Navy.
Here you will find our registration forms, rules and regulations, frequently asked questions (FAQ), and much more. Keep an eye on this page as it will be updated frequently!
From the SeaPerch website:SeaPerch is an innovative underwater robotics program that trains teachers to teach their students how to build an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in an in-school or out-of-school setting. Students build the ROV from a kit comprised of low-cost, easily accessible parts, following a curriculum that teaches basic engineering and science concepts with a marine engineering theme.
Building a SeaPerch ROV teaches basic skills in ship and submarine design and encourages students to explore naval architecture and marine and ocean engineering concepts. It also teaches basic science and engineering concepts and tool safety and technical procedures. Students learn important engineering and design skills and are exposed to all the exciting careers that are possible in naval architecture and naval, ocean, and marine engineering.
