Fifth and sixth grade students made waves as they joined the Bay Shore group to make remotely operated vehicles. They put their engineering and budgeting skills to the test to ensure that their designs stayed within cost and still met the needs of an effective underwater vehicle. But building wasn’t the only challenge. The students had to step into the world of marketing, crafting persuasive ads to convince our environmental educator that their ROV was the best investment.

With creativity, problem-solving and teamwork driving their progress, the ROVs are taking shape and getting closer to a launch in Long Island’s waters.
