2012 - 2013
The MATE Center uses underwater robots - known as remote operated vehicles or ROVs - to teach science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and prepare students for technical careers. Working in partnership with Marine Technology Society ROV Committee, MATE created the ROV competition as a way to engage students in STEM and expose them to science and technology careers. The MATE program encourages student to develop and apply technology, teamwork, and problem solving skills to the design of the ROVs.
