TCAPS’ SCI-MA-TECH program, located at Traverse City Central High School, will offer an Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Building for the Classroom on December 5th from 5:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. and December 6th from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. at Northwestern Michigan College’s Great Lakes Water Studies Institute in Traverse City, 715 E. Front Street.
This workshop will provide a truly unique educational opportunity that includes the resources, instruction, and support for the designing, engineering, and building of a fully functional underwater ROV. Grade K – 12 educators in science, engineering, technology, and mathematics or any other discipline that have an interest in aquatic environments (i.e. aquatic biology, marine archeology, etc.) are invited to apply.
Within the confines of the workshop, educators will be exposed to the different engineering challenges faced in the submarine environment and how ROVs can be used in other disciplines. Participants will learn how to build an underwater ROV, learn how to incorporate ROVs into classroom curriculum and leave the workshop with all of the materials needed to build one fully functioning ROV. In addition, participants will be presented with model methods and teaching strategies that will facilitate building a ROV with students. Teachers will leave the workshop with all of the materials needed to build one fully functioning ROV.
This workshop is made possible by the sponsorship of Convergence Education Foundation, The Great Lakes Water Studies Institute, and The Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
Please contact SCI-MA-TECH teacher, Keith Forton at 231-933-8536 or fortonke@csh.tcaps.net for more information or an application. Space is limited! Deadline to submit registration application is November 10th.
