The San Diego Maritime Week STEM Fest, November 13th, 2010 Student Competitions Participants are invited to participate in one of four areas of interest. The deadline for teachers to register is November 5th. Register for all Competitions here 1. Underwater Vehicle Competition A STEM based challenge of developing a water-tight hull which could serve as an underwater remotely operated vehicle (UROV). Teams may display any type of ROUV or AUV to compete in one of 3 categories: 1. Buoyancy Demonstration 2. Maneuverability Demonstration - Obstacle Course 3. Data Collection Application Complete project guidelines 2. Graphic Design Competition Using graphic design resources, participants will produce a logo printed on a poster for the Maritime STEM Fest. Additional resources such as a flyer or postcard may also be included, but are not required. The final products will be presented at a booth at the Maritime STEM Fest and competition winners will be selected. Complete project guidelines 3. Environmental Project & Exhibit Competition Participants will develop a general environmental exhibition which presents the results of an environmental study or restoration project concerning an area related to one of San Diego's bays, estuaries, tidelands or terrestrial riparian areas influencing a salt water area. The presentation of this exhibit will be interactive and designed to have a hands-on approach for educating younger, middle school age students (as well as the general public) about the results and research involved in this project. Complete project guidelines 4. All Things Maritime Competition This is an open-ended competition that is guided by the creativity and ingenuity of the entries. All entries must contain elements of science, technology, engineering or math that is guided by a maritime theme. The submissions will be presented at a booth at the fair, so some type of visual or audio components are necessary. Complete project guidelines The Science Expo will be held at the Embarcadero Marina Park South, in the Port of San Diego and is the kick-off event for the 2nd Annual San Diego Maritime Week.
