Not All Fun & Games on Appledore V

The ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle) Engineering Challenge is On!

One of the challenges the SEA SCHOLARS face is to design a solution to a problem that requires an ROV to solve.  This may be sampling sediments from beneath one of our dock areas; chasing down plankton with a net; or capturing photos of Appledore V's hull.  It's critical to have a detailed design in place before the SEA SCHOLARS can complete a materials list and start building the ROV.  Noah and Kirill rise to the occasion by taking up pen, ruler, science notebook, and whiteboard.  The rest of us can't wait to see what they come up with!  Stay tuned to see the results of their labors with an ROV ready to explore portions of the Great Lakes Waterway!
