The RETINA Program was founded by scientists and engineers under the auspices of a unique educational program in which teams of undergraduate and graduate students work in interdisciplinary design teams in order to prototype high-risk technologies and systems in a low-cost way and to field these systems in order to perform high-quality, peer-reviewed science and technology validation missions (https:\/\/www.scu.edu\/engineering\/labs–research\/labs\/robotics-systems-lab\/<\/a>). A portion of this program is designed to motivate students by enabling them to solve real world problems with hands-on technologies through Project-Based Learning (PBL). Underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROV) meet the goals for a PBL program, because students of all ages can interact and be creative in the design and fabrication of simple robotic and sensor systems. We provide a series of ROVs and the directions to build them. They begin with basic systems that we use in second grade and end with small working vehicles for scientific and educational use.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
