Lake County Council Sponsors 2023 Regional Sea Perch Competition
The Lake County Council of the Navy League is proud to again sponsor the Navy Great Lakes Regional Sea Perch Competition. After a two year pause due to the COVID pandemic, the National Museum of the American Sailor (NMAS) was able to host the middle school and high school STEM competition on April 9th at Lake Forest Academy. Navy League volunteers and Sailors from Recruit Training Command supported the event. Sea Perch is an innovative underwater robotics program that equips teachers and students with the resources they need to build an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in an in-school or out-of-school setting. Students build their ROV using pre-assembled kits and a STEM curriculum that teaches basic engineering and science concepts with a marine engineering theme. Throughout the project, students learn engineering concepts, problem solving, teamwork, and technical applications.
