The Clinton City Schools SeaPerch teams received a grant from Smithfield to purchase a needed water tank and pvc supplies to build our own obstacle course for use in practice.
These supplies will help the program continue to grow over the next couple of years. As the program becomes more established, specific materials may be used. SeaPerch is an innovative underwater robotics program that equips students with the resources they need to build an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV).
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.
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.
