Underwater Robotics & Engineering Design Academy

Arizona Project WET, in collaboration with Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE), is providing this exciting opportunity to learn how to build a competition-worthy underwater robot, and how to make underwater robots relevant in Arizona. This academy is for 5th-12th grade educators! Using MATE & APW materials, you will build the skills and confidence you need to teach engineering design of ROVs to students in a class or club as you:

• Investigate the Central AZ Project delivery system
• Understand how ROVs are used in the water industry
• Engage in the engineering design, building, and testing of marine ROVs
• Develop an understanding of buoyancy, hydrodynamics, forces, energy, electrical circuitry, wiring, soldering, and control systems
