Explore the ocean with us!
Ocean explorers use innovative technologies to fill gaps in our basic understanding of how we impact the ocean and how the ocean impacts us. This knowledge helps us to protect ocean health, sustainably manage our marine resources, accelerate our national economy, better understand our changing environment, and enhance our appreciation of the importance of the ocean in our everyday lives. The 2023 International SeaPerch Challenge is inspired by these technologies.
We are pleased to announce an exciting partnership with NOAA Ocean Exploration and the Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute (OECI) for the 2023 season theme of ocean exploration.
The event information below applies to the 2023 International SeaPerch Challenge. Please check with your local regional coordinator for event information related to your local regional competition.
Milestones Mandatory
Technical Design Report
Describe the intentional design process you completed for your SeaPerch ROV. This report should include all required sections in the instructions and provide judges with an understanding of your unique SeaPerch design and your team’s approach to developing this design. This report should focus on the SeaPerch ROV your team designed to compete in the 2023 SeaPerch pool courses.
Team Video
Delivering ideas in a clear and convincing manner is critical to bringing your project to life and helping project supporters understand your ideas and be convinced of their potential. Prepare a short, 5-minute video introducing your team, describing your engineering design process, and providing a reflection on this season.
Pool Courses
Obstacle Course Overview
The Obstacle Course tests high-speed maneuverability and requires the SeaPerch Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to navigate the course as quickly as possible.
Mission Course Overview
The Mission Course incorporates a mission that teams must complete with their SeaPerch ROV related to Ocean Exploration. The Ocean Exploration Mission is a simulation of the tasks and environment that an ROV might encounter while operating as a part of a multi-vehicle team with an Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV). Specific tasks include Mapping the Seafloor, Marine Life Interaction, and Water Sample Collection
