Generating Interest in STEM through Hands-On Activities

What Is SeaPerch? SeaPerch Focuses on DIVERSITY 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

National Science Education Learning Standards SeaPerch meets many of the national learning standards Maps to the new Common Core standards Visit www.seaperch.org to see how standards map to you Provides a curriculum and activity guide that maps to standards, provide lesson plans and activities, and gives teachers suggestions and ideas for classroom
