Members of the 4th Grade Robotics Team reached out to the Undersea Vehicle Program at UNCW last month. The faculty at UNCW Center for Marine Science answered their email and invited them to their campus! Our students were able to visit the Undersea Vehicle Program and talk with several faculty members. These students have been designing technology to be used in oceanic research as part of their Innovation Projects with the FIRST Lego League Robotics Competition. Getting to learn about current oceanic research and technology while talking with experts in the field was a very enriching educational experience for our team!
