Proposal Title: Beginning Arduinos and Student Projects Underwater and Overhead
Abstract Type: Workshop
Abstract: Microcontrollers are relatively inexpensive devices that you can program to collect data from a variety of sensor types and control external devices such as motors and actuators. Microcontrollers can be used in a variety of classroom activities and student projects. We will focus our workshop on using an Arduino Microcontroller to construct a mini-underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle that will seek out to hover at a desired programmed depth. We will also discuss how our students use Arduinos for fun, research, underwater ROV's and general exploration.  You need to bring your own Windows, Mac, or Linux computer.
