This workshop is an innovative robotics program that incorporates experimental learning processes to increase youth’s knowledge and skills related to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Through the experimental learning process of building an underwater Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV), youth are taught science concepts while strengthening life skills such as team-work, critical thinking and goal setting.
Highlights:
- Ship and submarine design
- Buoyancy/displacement
- Propulsion
- Soldering/tool safety and usage
- Vectors
- Electricity/circuits and switches
- Ergonomics
- Waterproofing
- Depth measurement
- Biological sampling
- Attenuation of light
- Moment arm, basic physics of motion
