Discovery Hall Programs and UMS Wright Preparatory School will co-host the Alabama SeaPerch ROV Competition. In this competition, students drive (fly) an ROV based on the SeaPerch design that they have built to complete pool-based courses.

The open house event offers everyone the opportunity to learn about the current research our team is working on and learn more about the coastal ecosystem we live in.

In this competition, student teams, facilitated by their teachers/mentors/coaches, design, build, and test their own unique ROV before coming to the Dauphin Island Sea Lab to compete against student teams from across the Gulf coast in a series of science-based missions.
