Working hard, and loving it!!

Students working together to build an aquatic remote controlled vehicle known as an Aquabot. They used their Aquabot to examine the trash that had made its way into the water at Masonville.

Students built Aquabotz composed of PVC pipe, motors, and even a camera!

During the program, students took on the role of engineers and worked together to build their own buoy.
