Programme Description
This underwater robotics course will explore the practical applications of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) in the exciting field of the underwater world. We will guide students through the theory, concepts, and specifics of building their ROV as a team.
Students should have some essential physics, algebra, and trigonometry knowledge, and the course will be taught in either English or Chinese. This course teaches the basics of motion, force/reaction, and programming in sensors and 3D space. Students will be trained in engineering, testing, computational thinking and project management skills. In addition, students will be sponsored to take the computational thinking assessment test certified by Cornell University. They will be able to participate in underwater robotics competitions organised by local and international organisations, allowing students to participate in the challenge and demonstrate their underwater robots (ROVs).
The program emphasises active learning and the ability to complete projects independently. We have also invited industry experts to give our students a sharing about the application of AI development now and in the future. Students can participate in the Intel Cyberport Air Land and Sea Competition.
To offer the best learning experience to children, we have partnered with the leading-edge technology Intel AI box to teach our students to design and develop their ROV. Immerse yourself in the cultures of the leading technology and R&D, seize this opportunity, and prepare to be tomorrow's innovator.
