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.
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.
