Friday, Jan 26, 2007 6 PM to 9 PM
Are you interested in learning about Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) technology and its use in ocean exploration and research? Would you like to be able to teach your students how to build an ROV? Would you be interested in putting together a student team to participate in a regional ROV competition and perhaps an international competition? Join us Friday, February 6th (6PM-9PM) and Saturday, February 7th (8AM-5PM) at the Georgia Aquarium to learn more.
This workshop is hosted by NOAA Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary and Georgia Aquarium in partnership with Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center.
So what will you learn and do? Participants will:
* Build an ROV from PVC pipe and other materials and test their design by “flying” it in a pool;
* Discuss how ROV technology can be infused into high school curriculum tied to state and national standards;
* Be introduced to ROV technology and how it is used for research, monitoring, and exploration in national marine sanctuaries;
* Be provided an overview of the Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center and their regional and national student ROV competitions.
