MIT's Hydrorobot Heading for Greek Schools

The Hydrobot-based SeaPerch, a prototype robotic program through which trained teachers – who in turn train their students in the construction of an underwater unmanned vehicle (Remotely Operated Vehicle-ROV) – is coming to Greece.
The Hydrobot, an American marine robotics program, is aimed at high school students and works through the Interactive Science and Technology Exhibition Eugenides Foundation in collaboration with the laboratory of Sea Grant Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) .
The program, which began in the laboratory MIT Sea Grant (MITSG) in 2003, hopes to interest students in science, technology and applications. The program SeaPerch spread beyond MIT to more than 200 U.S. schools and how has 2,000 professors and teachers and more than 26,000 students. The SeaPerch spread to other countries, such as Cyprus and France, and through cooperation with the Eugenides Foundation MITSG, is now in Greece in the form of Hydrobot.
For the new school year, the Eugenides Foundation will award 50 free packs with the necessary hardware and instructions to public schools that have expressed interest and will be selected. The necessary materials and instructions will be sent to partner schools for students to use to compose the final result.
