Atlantis S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) is a local non-profit that offers classes in underwater robotics. Learn the basics of R.O.V.’s (Remotely Operated Vehicles) and become familiar with buoyancy, thrusters, and manipulators as well as motor control and electrical circuits. Some classes will provide the opportunity to test ROVs in local waters.

Underwater Robotics I

Grades 4-6; Grades 7-10

Build an underwater robot! Working in groups, students will learn the skills of building an underwater robot, or “ROV”, (Remotely Operated Vehicle) as they assemble a practice ROV in class. In addition to learning how to solder wire connections, students will become familiar with thrusters, manipulators, cameras, buoyancy, motor control, and electric circuits.  Students will test the practice ROVs by piloting their robots and completing tasks underwater.

All participants will be expected to follow our “Safety First” protocols, which includes both physical and emotional/psychological safety.

Underwater Robotics II

Grades 4-10

Prerequisite: Underwater Robotics I or permission of Instructor

Building upon their ROV knowledge, students will expand their learning about manipulators, water proofing cameras, joy-stick controllers, and other new skills as they work in groups to create practice underwater robots. Students will test their new tools on their practice ROVs by attempting to complete tasks underwater.
