SeaPearch stands as a cutting-edge underwater robotics initiative, empowering students, educators, and parents alike by providing comprehensive resources. This program enables participants to seamlessly construct their own remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV), fostering hands-on learning experiences both within and outside the traditional school environment.

Logo for MATE ROV Competition with a blue and orange wave design.

The MATE ROV Competition is an underwater robotics (ROV) challenge that engages a global community of learners each year and includes regional events that feed into a World Championship. Students in grades K-16 work in teams to engineer and build an ROV (remotely operated vehicle), vertical profiling float, and other sensors and tooling to complete mission tasks based on real-world scenarios, all the while developing STEM and employability skills that prepare them for the workforce.

Robot Drone League (RDL) and Robot Drone League Jr. (RDL Jr.) are hands-on, mission-based STEM programs that engage elementary, middle, and high school students in robotics, drones, and engineering challenges inspired by real-world careers. Through team-based design, building, coding, and competition, students develop critical skills in problem solving, teamwork, and technical literacy while exploring pathways in aviation, engineering, advanced manufacturing, and emerging technologies. RDL Jr. introduces younger students to foundational STEM concepts in a fun, accessible way, while RDL provides deeper, career-connected experiences that prepare students for college, workforce, and military opportunities.



We appreciate TVR's partnership and strong commitment to STEM education in the valley!
