The MATE Center and the Marine Technology Society's (MTS)
Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Committee organize an annual
ROV design and building competition for high school and
college students. The goals of the competition are to increase
the awareness of marine technical fields and to encourage
students to participate in them, while also helping students
develop the skills they will need for a career in marine
technology. Another important goal is to facilitate connections
between students and educators and professionals working
in the marine field.
Employers - industry, businesses, research institutions,
government agencies, professional societies, and foundations
- are encouraged to become involved in the event by donating
funds, equipment, supplies, facilities, technical expertise,
to time to help support the competing schools and colleges.
For information on how you can get involved with this year's
event, contact Jill Zande at (831) 646-3082 or jzande@marinetech.org.
