What is the SeaPerch Challenge? The SeaPerch Challenge is the competition conceived and started in Philadelphia for executing the SeaPerch ROV Outreach Program Teams represent companies competing for a simulated navy contract, trying to demonstrate that their SeaPerch Design best meets or exceeds navy technical requirements while staying within budget. Program goal is to sustain a long-term effort to address the problem of decreasing college enrollments in engineering and technical programs Increase student interest in STEM related studies through hands-on activities at the middle and high school level Provides awareness of Naval Engineering and Naval Architecture as career fields Helps students prepare for college level work Interface with industry, academia and government engineers Work in collaborative environment Participate in a realistic business Experience a major university campus Participate in a realistic technical scenario SeaPerch Program/Challenge Goals Create a Fun, Challenging and Educational experience for students SeaPerch design and build initiated in various locations - ASNE-DV pilots SeaPerch in a local NJ school - Based upon feedback, ASNE teams with Drexel and Phila.
