It’s not Just a Challenge, It’s a Journey of Learning!
SeaPerch is an underwater robotics innovative program that prepares students to build a Remotely Operated underwater Vehicle (ROV) for submarine missions in a classroom or out-of-school setting with a special kit that consists of low-cost and easily accessible parts. Each season has a new theme and a new set of competition tasks, challenging teams to expand on their original vehicle design. Throughout the program, students will learn engineering concepts, problem-solving, design skills, and teamwork. They will also be exposed to all the exciting possible careers in naval architecture and marine/ocean engineering.
SeaPerch West Asia Challenge 2027
Welcome to the 2027 SeaPerch Season! This season, teams will design, build, and prepare their ROVs to take on challenges inspired by our theme, Discover the Unknown: Building Understanding Where Information Is Incomplete. Every mission begins with a question: What don’t we know? Before we can act with confidence, we must first understand the environment in front of us. Robotic systems extend our ability to reach places we cannot easily go, observe what we cannot readily see, and transform uncertainty into understanding. Every discovery lays the foundation for better decisions, new discoveries, and meaningful action.
Who Can Participate?
Any elementary, middle, and high school School students from the UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain, in addition to Jordan, Iraq and open to other countries in the region. can join this challenge by designing a remotely operated vehicle to perform specific underwater missions according to every year’s theme.
