Each day, you will test your ROV in a pool (and enjoy some fun swim time!) and iterate and improve your design to make it the ultimate problem-solving ROV. The week wraps up with an exciting real-world field study experience, where you’ll put your ROV design to the test in natural waters and meet an expert dedicated to environmental protection. By the end of the camp, you’ll walk away with new friends, new skills, a certificate of completion, and personalized feedback from camp mentors. Get ready to innovate, engineer, and make a splash!
