Participation

Who can Participate ?

The challenge is open to school students from the UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain, in addition to Jordan, Iraq and other countries in the region.

Students can join this challenge by designing a remotely operated vehicle to perform specific underwater missions according to every year’s theme.

Teams of 2 to 4 students and one coach. No limit on teams per school or organization.
We recommend that all students take a particular area of engineering and apply it to their team and their SeaPerch ROV build. They can then prepare short lessons on their particular areas of expertise to share them with their teammates. The following student “specialties” are recommended:

Mechanical Engineer

In charge of motors and mechanical systems.

Materials Engineer

In charge of structural systems. Checks quality of structure daily.

Electrical Engineer

In charge of control box and control systems. Maintains battery charge.

Systems Engineer/Project Overseer

Maintains positive flow, oversees the projects and maintains a record of the build.

Presentation Designer

In charge of creating the final SeaPerch presentation.

Technical Writer/Illustrator

In charge of maintaining the engineering notebook.

We also recommend 1 adult supervisor per 4+ team in order to keep the building experience flowing smoothly and to prevent safety mishaps
