The SeaPerch Challenge is more than a competition—it’s a launchpad for future innovators. Students build and operate remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), taking on tasks that simulate real-world missions in marine science and robotics.
This year’s theme: Environmental Monitoring and Coral Reef Restoration
Coral reefs are vital to marine life and coastal protection, but they’re under threat. Teams will explore how technology helps restore reef health by planting coral, removing invasive species, and supporting ocean resilience.
Dive in and explore how SeaPerch makes waves in STEM, one ROV at a time.
