Dive into Discovery: Buoyancy

Join us at the New Canal Lighthouse for our series of summer learning classes geared towards exploration and learning. Dive into the world of science, nature, and discovery with interactive, hands-on STEM activities suitable for grades 6-12.

How do underwater robots stay afloat? This hands-on workshop introduces the principles of buoyancy and stability, guiding students through the design and construction of PVC frames that keep ROVs buoyant and stable underwater. Participants will test their frames in water, adjusting to achieve the perfect balance. Prepare to be buoyed up by your newfound engineering skills!
