SeaMATE ROV Kits
The MATE Center develops and sells ROV kits that provide an excellent way to integrate science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) into the classroom or after school activity. The kits match up with the SeaMATE Underwater Robotics learning objectives, these objectives align with the Next Generation of Science Standards (NGSS) for Engineering Design from elementary through high school. All of our kits are assembled and packaged by students who work for SeaMATE. SeaMATE is a social enterprise that provides community college students with workplace experience while creating products and services that promote engineering and technology education
