(Remotely Operated Vehicles: Exploration and Research)
The R.O.V.E.R. project is a STEM-based (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) challenge that requires students to design, build, and deploy a functional underwater ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle). Each year, the Marine Advanced Technology Education Center puts out a national challenge that simulates current scientific research. Students work collaboratively to form simulated "companies" that work to meet the specific requirements of the annual challenge. Teams must create a working ROV that is equipped to successfully complete the specific mission challenge, design detailed schematics - for both the structural and electrical components of the ROV, create magazine pages (and a poster if competing at regionals!) showcasing their project, and compete in the underwater mission challenge. Two interested teams will also have an opportunity to compete against other school teams in the New England Regional Competition, held at the University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth. The project is great fun!
