Abstract for the conference program
Learn how scientists work to collect date remotely with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV’s). A program overview and classroom math activity precedes audience participation in a Giant board game that simulates conditions in the Atlantic Ocean that an unmanned AUV must contend with while on a mission. Students act as scientists, predicting currents and programming the best route to arrive at a destination to collect water quality data. Introductory Powerpoint will show participants how to conduct this investigation in their classrooms.
