STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. - Students Ian Tonglet and Seth Malley, both 13 and both from Picayune, work with an underwater robot during Tuesday's Astro Star camp activity at Stennis Space Center. The science and technology camp is for 13-15 year olds interested in robotics, engineering, marine science and related fields. NASA joined with the Navy for the underwater robotics exercise involving Sea Perch robots, simple, remotely operated underwater vehicles made from PVC pipe and other inexpensive, easily available materials. During the exercise, students used the robots they built to maneuver underwater and collect plastic rings. (Source: NASA, 06/29/10)Tuesday, June 29, 2010
