[SEMCO] ROV Workshop Announcement

[Anne Smrcina]

The Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary is offering a one-day
workshop on ROV building for teachers on January 7, 2006 at the
Massachusetts Maritime Academy in Buzzards Bay, MA.  The day-long
program will include an introduction to ROVs, information about how
these underwater robots are used by Stellwagen Bank National Marine
Sanctuary scientists and researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution, tips on participating in the regional and national ROV
competitions sponsored by MATE (Marine Advanced Technology Education
Center), and a hands-on component that will have teachers designing and
building working ROVs by the end of the day.

Cost for the program is $25, made out to the Marine Technology Society--
New England Chapter.  Coffee and donuts will be provided in the morning
and lunch at noon.  The program is co-sponsored by MTS-NE, the
Massachusetts Marine Educators, and the Massachusetts Maritime Academy.

Please review the attached flyer and respond ASAP if interested in
attending the workshop.  There are a limited number of places.  If you
have any questions, I can be reached by phone at 781-545-8026 x204 or by
