Great news-- the Cape Cod Regional STEM Network has received a grant from the Cape Cod Foundation to expand underwater robotics through MATE ROV to Cape Cod & the islands! Just as we have done with Vex robotics, we are offfering an initial teacher/coach professional development workshop, and each school will receive at least 2 kits. There is a competition planned for early May, which will be held at Mass Maritime Academy. The challenges this year align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals for the 2021-2030 Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
MATE's mission is to inspire and challenge students to learn and creatively apply science, technology, engineering, and math to solving real-world problems in a way that strengthens critical thinking, collaboration, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
