T *Learn how to build your own
underwater ROV This workshop will provide a truly unique educational outreach opportunity that includes the resources, instruction and support, for the designing, engineering, and building of a fully functional underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV). Within the confines of the workshop participants will be exposed to the different engineering challenges faced in the submarine environment. In addition participants will be presented with concepts in science, mathematics and technology that will facilitate building a ROV with students. It is expected that participants will then use the acquired resource and replicate this activity with students within their own school or classroom. The pedagogy is “constructive” and based on the best practices in science as outlined in the National Resource Council’s Guide, How People Learn and 12 Brain/Mind Principles in Action (Corwin Press 2004). In addition skills and activities presented in this workshop support the Michigan Merit Curriculum in science, mathematics and technology.Further Information: For additional information please contact Keith Forton, Traverse City Central Senior High at 231-933-8536 or fortonke@csh.tcaps.net . Please put ROV in the subject line as to avoid accidental deletion. Space is limited! Application Deadline Monday November 10th!

The Graveyard of the Atlantic Dive into the mystery of North Carolina’s dangerous coastline, appropriately named the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Over two thousand vessels have sunk beneath the waves since the early 1500s. Who were the sea-faring souls who found their final resting place off our coastline? What conditions of geography and weather lead to their demise? How does modern technology help prevent future mishaps and solve the mysteries of past disasters? Join us as we investigate the enigmas of the deep, including the disappearance, 140 years ago, of the US Navy’s first submarine, the green USS Alligator. Uncover the history buried beneath the sand and water of the Graveyard of the Atlantic. (Two participants will share accommodations.) The conference is hosted by the North Carolina Center for the Advancement for Teaching, whose mission is to advance teaching as an art and a profession. The workshop will be held in Ocracoke, North Carolina. For more information about NCCAT please visit http://www.nccat.org/
The
MATE Center will be leading an ROV design and building workshop on
October 18 from 2:30-6pm as part of this seminar.
Down Under,
Out Yonder Advanced Education Workshop, "ROV-ing the National Marine
Sanctuaries: Use of Technology in Managing Ocean and Great Lakes
Resources." The Flower Garden Bank National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS) will host a workshop were participants can learn about the many types of technology used in underwater exploration, including remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and the roles technology plays in science-based resource management. Participants will also build their own programmable ROVs using LEGO Robotics kits and software. Following the classroom lectures and hands-on activities, participants will board a dive boat to do some SCUBA diving within the sanctuary, to learn how to identify common coral species on the reef cap. The annual workshop and field expedition is sponsored by the non-profit Gulf of Mexico Foundation, in partnership with the FGBNMS. This year’s workshop is also a recipient of a National Marine Sanctuary Program Education Mini-Grant. For more information, contact Kelly L. Drinnen at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary office, (409) 766-3572. Click here to see the August 15th, 2005 Newspaper article on the workshop!
Florida ROV Teacher Workshops Erica Moulton at Hillsborough Community College held a professional development workshop on ROVs for all Hillsborough County, Florida, secondary science teachers to introduce them to ROV technology. The second workshop was specifically for teachers who were interested in participating in the 2005 Florida Regional ROV Competition and provided them with the information and technology to start an ROV competition team at their schools.
Erica Moulton also held an all-day teacher workshop
on ROV building for teachers in the Hillsborough, Pinellas and Sarasota
areas on February 5, 2005. The event was supported by MATE, MOTE
Marine Laboratory, the City of Tampa's Stormwater Division, and the
Hillsborough County School System. One participant commented, "The
workshop on Saturday was GREAT! I feel much more comfortable about doing the
[ROV] project now."
Texas ROV Teacher Workshop Flower Garden Banks
National Marine Sanctuary sponsored a teacher workshop to bring science
technology into the classroom. Workshop participants learned how
technology, especially underwater ROVs, is used to research and explore
sanctuary ecosystems in support of resource management. They constructed and tested their own mini-ROV to take back to
the classroom along with lesson plans and ideas for incorporating their new
knowledge into the classroom. Participants were also be provided information
on how to form a team at their high school and/or undergraduate college
program to participate in the MATE ROV Competition. The Texas State
Aquarium, MATE partner Alvin Community College, and the MATE Center supported the workshop by providing funds, curriculum, information, and
technical support.
Massachusetts
ROV Teacher Workshop Instructors Paul McGuinness from Cambridge Rindge and Latin School and Tom Gagnon from Milton Academy (both MATE Summer Institute alumni and past ROV Competition mentors) led teachers in Falmouth, Massachusetts, through a two-day ROV workshop sponsored by the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. Additional support was provided by the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, Marine Technology Society New England Chapter, Massachusetts Marine Educators, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and the MATE Center. Participants:
MATE Regional
Competition Information and Introduction Brennan Phillips, an
undergraduate student in the University of Rhode Island’s ocean engineering
department, and members of the MTS New England section held a session at the
University of Rhode Island for educators leading teams to compete in the New
England Regional ROV Contest. The session covered the basics of ROV design
& construction and provided a general introduction to the 2004 competition
mission scenario and tasks. The session also connected participating
educators with industry mentors. The MATE Center provided guidance,
resource materials, and funds to support this session.
Santa Barbara
Remotely Operated
Vehicle (ROV) Teacher Workshop The ROV Teacher workshop was hosted by the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, MATE Center, UCSB Marine Science Institute, Santa Barbara City College Marine Technology, Cabrillo High School Aquarium and Santa Barbara Maritime Museum.
Teacher participants:
Nunez
Community College ROV Camp Sharon Flannagan, a participant in the 2001
MATE Summer Institute ran a workshop at Nunez Community College for high
school students to spend time with trained faculty to
design and build model Remotely Operated Vehicles!
Through a Carl Perkins Leadership Grant they
hosted local high school students in a program designed to introduce them to
the world of underwater ROVs. Hosted by Paul McGuinness to support the New England regional ROV competition that fed into the MATE/MTS ROV Committee National ROV Competition. Participant Richard Hartman from North
Kingston High School has posted his
curriculum materials online for others to
use. He has implemented ROV projects into his high school physics
class.
ImpROVing
Education Workshop The objective of the Young Memorial ROV program is to increase student, teacher, and public awareness of the academic and technical skills required in the dynamically evolving ROV industry and to increase student consideration of technical college education opportunities as well as nontraditional career paths. They have two phases of their program: ROV-in-a-Bag and ImpROVing Education. The ImpROVing Education workshop was held June 3-7, 2002. Seventeen participants, including high school students, teachers, counselors, and administrators, spent a week learning about and building ROVs. Saundra Butcher attended from MATE and supported the workshop with her expertise. |
