Planning a build

  • Schools can do SeaPerch as part of a curriculum or after school activity.  Just about any group of middle or high school students (4-H, Boy or Girl Scouts, homeschoolers) gathered with an interest in STEM can build a Perch!

  • It takes approximately 10 hours for students to build the SeaPerch and test it.  Additional time is needed to redesign ROVs to complete competition goals.

  • The National SeaPerch website offers training videos that step through the entire build process and are available for beginner or advanced users.
