Sea Air and Land Challenge

The Sea Air and Land Challenge is a STEM initiative for high school aged students. Nicknamed the SeAL Challenge, this engineering challenge provides teams of students the opportunity to learn about the engineering process through the design of a robotic system relevant to the Navy. Developed under ONR, the program grew from the initial region to 8 regions in 4 states and served over 600 students in its final year. This web-based program is fulfilling the 3 goals of providing students the opportunity to tackle a hands-on engineering task while in high school, giving students insight into technical careers available in DoD, and helping educators learn to implement a STEM program even given constraints.
