Shedd’s education department is taking science investigation to the next level with our new integrated remote-operated vehicle programming. Last December, Shedd staffers and area teachers participated in an ROV workshop hosted by the National Marine Sanctuaries Foundation. Teachers tested their knowledge of aquatic science and engineering as they got their hands wet. Be the first to apply for the August workshop.
Here are reactions from participants:
“It’s exciting to see how much fun all of us middle/high school teachers had during the process of building an ROV. Now we can understand what the students will go through as they form teams and design/build their own!” -Jackie Formoso
“I learned a lot and had fun, too. I am very excited about this program and am looking forward to working with the teams from the St. Joe Boys & Girls Clubs as they get ready for the regional competition in April.” -Laura Batt
“When I mentioned to my principal that some of the staff from the Shedd might be available to help mentor on the project, he was very impressed. I can’t say enough about how excited I am about starting this project.” -Frank Domenico
