Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center

9th Annual MATE International Student ROV Competition

Opportunity Description

http://www.marinetech.org/rov_competition/

This competition uses underwater robots, known as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to help students learn about science, technology, engineering and math. The MATE Center coordinates an international student ROV competition and a network of 17 regional ROV contests that take place across U.S. and in Canada, Hong Kong, and Scotland. Student teams from middle schools, high schools, home schools, community colleges, and universities participate in the events, which consist of different classes that vary depending on the sophistication of the ROVs and the mission requirements. In addition to being fun and educational, these competitions connect students and educators with employers and working professionals from marine industries, highlight marine-related career opportunities, and promote the development of technical, problem solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills.
