HAGATNA, Guam (AP) — A group of students in Guam is learning about the connection between marine robotics and environmental sustainability by creating their own underwater robots.
The Pacific Daily News reports (https://bit.ly/1JuRNs0 ) the group of 20 students, ages 15 to 17, are participating in a two-week sustainable technologies clinic put on by Guam Community College. The students tested their homemade robots Wednesday at a Tumon aquarium.
Science professor A.J. Sunga led students as they drew up their own blueprints, cut PVC pipe and worked with a motor and control to make the robots.
The students put their creations to use as they maneuvered the robots through an underwater obstacle course at the aquarium.
The robotics course is part of a six-day clinic that teaches students about sustainable design concepts.
