SeaPerch

Red Elementary is excited to announce a new addition to the STEM family, SeaPerch.

What is SeaPerch?

SeaPerch is an innovative underwater robotics program that equips teachers and students with the resources they need to build an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in an in-school or out-of-school setting. 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.

SeaPerch is...

  • A hands-on educational tool
  • Fun and challenging
  • A curriculum that meets national learning standards
  • Integrates Naval STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics
  • Teaches the teachers
  • Builds teamwork and inspires young minds

Meetings will be held every Wednesday (until competition) during Robotics.
