About SeaPerch

SeaPerch is an innovative national underwater robotics program that equips teachers and students with the resources they need to build an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in an in-school or out-of-school setting. Students build the ROV from a kit comprised of low-cost, easily accessible parts, following a curriculum that teaches basic engineering and science concepts with a marine engineering theme. After the initial stock kit is constructed students optimize their ROV to complete a series of tasks such as manipulating and retrieving objects, and navigating obstacles. As students design and construct their ROV, they learn and practice skills such as drilling, soldering, wiring, documenting their work, teamwork and prototype testing. The SeaPerch Program provides students with the opportunity to learn about robotics, engineering, science, and mathematics (STEM) while building an underwater ROV as part of a science and engineering technology curriculum. Throughout the project, students will learn engineering concepts, problem solving, teamwork, and technical applications.
