News From The Field
Regional SeaPerch Competition 2023
SeaPerch is an innovative underwater robotics program that equips teachers and students with the resources they need to build an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in an in-school or out-of-school setting. Students build the ROV from a kit comprised of low-cost, easily accessible parts, following a curriculum that teaches basic engineering and science concepts with a marine engineering theme. The SeaPerch Program provides students with the opportunity to learn about robotics, engineering, science, and mathematics (STEM) while building an underwater ROV as part of a science and engineering technology curriculum. Throughout the project, students will learn engineering concepts, problem solving, teamwork, and technical applications.
Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Keyport, the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility and the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command support the 2023 Navy Bridge Building Challenge
Students from 15 schools across Key, Kitsap and Olympic peninsulas recently had a chance to show off their engineering skills by participating in the 2023 Navy Bridge Building Challenge, which culminated with live-load testing at the U.S. Naval Undersea Museum on May 6.
The annual competition challenges K-12th grade students to research, design and construct lightweight, one-of-a-kind bridges capable of holding as much weight as possible.
NSWC Carderock Hosts 17th International Submarine Race
WEST BETHESDA, Md. – Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division welcomed the return of the International Submarine Race (ISR) to its David Taylor Model Basin in West Bethesda, Maryland, June 26-30, for the first time since before the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Teams from across the United States, Poland, the United Kingdom and Canada arrived at Carderock with their eyes set on one mission: be the fastest human-powered submarine in the competition.
FRCE Brings Engineering to Eastern North Carolina Classrooms
MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CHERRY POINT, N.C. – Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE) gave students throughout Eastern North Carolina a hands-on look at careers in engineering as part of the depot’s 2023 National Engineers Week outreach efforts.
Engineers from the depot visited four elementary schools, 18 middle schools and four high schools and engaged with more than 2,700 area students.
NSWC Dahlgren Division STEM Competitions at Montross Middle School
Gustavo Cabanillas watched intently as his team’s wind-powered car – four paper cups glued to cardboard and two straw-encased sticks attached to tea lights serving as wheels – soared away from the fan across the gym floor 267 inches.
The Montross Middle School sixth-grader was proud of his team’s accomplishment in one of three challenges at the STEM competitions hosted by Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) Thursday at the school.
NAWCAD Lakehurst Develops Future Engineers Through Robotics
JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST, N.J. – Long before working at Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst (NAWCAD LKE), Adam Cyran and Josh Falk developed their passion for the STEM fields as students with their high school robotics teams. Now, through their work with the NAWCAD LKE Education Outreach Office and the For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) Robotics program, they help develop future scientists, engineers and mathematicians while raising awareness about NAWCAD’s mission at competitions across the country.
