Generating Interest in STEM through Hands-On Activities

Susan G. Nelson, CMP, CAE Executive Director, SeaPerch Program

Current Situation Source: NSF “Science and Engineering Indicators 2010”

Based on a book Curriculum designed in 2003 by MIT Funded by ONR as part of the NNRNE AUVSI Foundation manages program One Solution - SeaPerch

What Is SeaPerch? SeaPerch is an educational TOOL SeaPerch is fun and HANDS-ON SeaPerch is a CURRICULUM SeaPerch teaches STEM SeaPerch TRAINS teachers SeaPerch Focuses on DIVERSITY SeaPerch can CHANGE kids’ MINDS SeaPerch is the Navy’s Signature Outreach Program SeaPerch can help find the NEXT GENERATION of STEM Professionals

How Students learn design and engineering principles by building an underwater ROV (Sea Perch) and participating in a SeaPerch Challenge – Fun, educational, challenging – Varying levels of sophistication allow broad appeal – Integrates engineering & technology into the classroom – Introduces maritime, robotics, STEM careers into the classroom

Basic Curriculum Ship and Sub Design Buoyancy Displacement Motor Movement Soldering Vectors Circuits and Switches Ergonomic Design Depth Measurement Biological Sampling Attenuation of Light
