SeaPerch is an inventive submerged mechanical technology program that furnishes educators and understudies with the assets they have to fabricate a submerged Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in an in-school or out-of-school setting. Understudies fabricate the ROV from a pack involved minimal effort, effectively open parts, taking after an educational module that shows essential building and science ideas with a marine designing subject. The SeaPerch Program furnishes understudies with the chance to find out about apply autonomy, designing, science, and arithmetic (STEM) while fabricating a submerged ROV as a major aspect of a science and building innovation educational module. All through the task, understudies will learn designing ideas, critical thinking, collaboration, and specialized applications.
Building a SeaPerch ROV shows essential aptitudes in boat and submarine outline and urges understudies to investigate maritime structural engineering and marine and sea designing standards. It likewise shows essential science and building ideas and device security and specialized strategies. Understudies learn vital building and outline abilities and are presented to all the energizing vocations that are conceivable in maritime structural planning and maritime, sea, and marine designing. The name SeaPerch originated from the USS Perch, a very enlivened World War II U.S. submarine. USS Perch was one of another type of American submarines and was the first to fuse an early type of ventilating. She was dispatched May 9, 1936 by the Electric Boat Company in Groton, CT and was abandoned by her group in the Java Sea on March 3, 1942 subsequent to being extremely harmed amid a Japanese profundity charge assault two days prior. The group was caught and sent to a Japanese captive camp; everything except six of the 54 men and five officers locally available returned home after the war. Her destruction was found in November 2006 by a worldwide group of jumpers off the bank of Java and was the object of archeological jumper investigation.
Understudies learn best by doing, and amid the procedure of building SeaPerch, they take after strides to totally amass the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), test it, and after that take part in propelling their vehicles. A standout amongst the most vital parts of SeaPerch, and one that separates it from comparative projects, is that it incorporates preparing for educators. The two techniques for preparing are online feature preparing modules or on location preparing.
The SeaPerch educational program has been intended to meet numerous learning measures and results. With one undertaking, schools have the capacity to show a considerable lot of the ideas needed for their evaluation level utilizing a fun, hands-on movement for understudies. A portion of the ideas the understudies learn amid the fabricate include:

• Ship and submarine configuration
• Buoyancy/relocation
• Propulsion
• Soldering/apparatus security and use
• Vectors
• Electricity/circuits and switches
• Ergonomics
• Waterproofing
• Depth estimation
• Biological inspecting
• Attenuation of light
• Moment arm, fundamental material
