SeaPerch
SeaPerch: a unique teaching tool for Alaska's educators
Recognized statewide for its collaborative, hands-on inquiry-driven learning experiences in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), JEDC conducts professional development workshops to prepare teachers in the construction and use of SeaPerch Underwater Remote Operated Vehicles in their classrooms. SeaPerch introduces students in grades 2-12 to the wonders of underwater robotics by building and operating real ROV's. To date, JEDC has trained more than 60 teachers statewide and has supplied over 1,200 classroom kits to students.
