TAMUQ concludes QAST STEM programme with underwater robotics competition

Doha: Students from Qatar Academy for Science and Technology (QAST) put their underwater robots to the test during the 2021 Qatar SeaPerch Challenge to conclude the Engineering Heroes: Ocean Scout academic enrichment program delivered by Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ).

The students learned about the science and technologies behind ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) over six weeks as part of the innovative Engineering Heroes STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) outreach program. Engineering Heroes: Ocean Scout focused on the science and technology of underwater vehicles, which are used in several industries and real-life applications such as search and rescue, inspecting underwater pipelines or exploring shipwrecks.
