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,
