MARE’s Deep Sea Engineering Challenge

MARE's   Deep Sea Engineering Challenge   will engage teams of students at Richmond High School to solve a problem pertaining to marine science and technology. The Challenge will offer a hands-on, applied learning experience to local high school aged students using technology to solve a scientific question. Students will be exposed to elements of ocean health and encourage STEM exposure and awareness of marine technology, and how it is being used to solve our worlds ocean’s problems.​

The Challenge will offer many opportunities including:

• Offer a hands-on, applied learning experience to local high school aged students using technology to solve a scientific question;
• Expose students to elements of ocean health and possible technology solutions for ocean science and conservation; 
• Encourage pursuit of STEM education and related post-collegiate career through exposure to and awareness of marine technology, and how it is being used to solve our worlds ocean’s problems;
• Solve some of our own engineering challenges with new perspectives and approaches.
• And develop strategy for expanding program to other Bay Area schools. 

Help MARE encourage STEM pathways for the next generation by volunteering or donating for the inaugural   Deep Sea Engineering Challenge: Corals & Carousels 2020! We are seeking volunteers with engineering experience to serve as mentors or day-of challenge. As well as event support through gifts and donations.
