What is SeaPerch WA?
SeaPerch West Asia is a regional innovative underwater challenge that is part of the International SeaPerch program.
SeaPerch International program prepares mentors and students to build a Remotely Operated underwater Vehicle (ROV) for
submarine missions.
Students can build the ROV in a classroom or out-of-school setting with a special kit that consists of low-cost and easily accessible parts. The program follows a unique curriculum that teaches basic engineering and science concepts with a marine engineering theme. SeaPerch provides students with the opportunity to learn about robotics, engineering, science, and mathematics (STEM). Throughout the project, students will learn engineering concepts, problem-solving, teamwork and technical applications.
The curriculum is specially designed to help the students to assemble the ROV from scratch, test it, and then participate in launching their vehicles. Students are encouraged to compete in a culminating event, the SeaPerch Challenge. Events at the Challenge:
- Pool courses (Obstacle Course and Mission Course)
- Technical Design Report
- System Overview Sheet
- Poster
- Technical Interview
- Engineering in Action (optional)
