DESCRIPTION: This workshop introduces participants to the SeaMATE PufferFish ROV and how to integrate it, as well as the engineering design process, into middle and high school curriculum or club activities. Participants will learn the fundamentals of basic ROV building and experience a variety of hands-on science, technology, and engineering activities that can be integrated into a class or afterschool activity to reinforce foundational knowledge and skills. Upon completion of the workshop all participants should feel confident to lead ROV building activities using the PufferFish ROV Kit or comparable parts and components.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Educators who have had introductory exposure to ROV activities or who have a background teaching science, technology, engineering, or math. Activities presented in this workshop are appropriate for 6-10th grade or within an afterschool club or activity. All faculty attending should have concrete plans to implement these activities in the following academic year. If you are new to ROV building and unable to commit to implementing this activities during the next academic year, we recommend that you attend one of our regional short workshops (3 hours to 2 days).

Applications are due April 10th, but will be accepted until the workshop is full.
