The SeaPerch, an underwater robot, is an educational tool designed for students grade 5 to 12. Launched by the MIT Sea Grant in 2003, the SeaPerch project is a “do-it-yourself” robot-building experience that explores structures, electronics, and underwater dynamics. SeaPerch II, the most recent iteration of the project, builds on the original program and incorporates elements of marine and climate science. “I love trying to make the world a better place by educating others and helping people learn through learning yourself,” says Teagan Sullivan, a rising MIT fourth-year student who worked on frame design for SeaPerch II.
