Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles (UUV)
Human-Technology Interface
Underwater Communications
Mesopelagic Zone
Learning
Opportunities
The project provides students with iterative learning opportunities to integrate fundamentals in Key Knowledge Areas (KKA) of Navy relevance.
Bthypelagic Zone
Experience
Through informal science experiences designed to reinforce learning in KKA, secondary and post-secondary students will be able to participate year-round through classroom activities and capstone projects, workshops, summer academies, and after-school programs.
