The Gray’s Reef Southeast MATE ROV Competition is an annual underwater robotics STEM challenge that immerses students in marine technology since 2004. Hosted at the Chatham County Aquatic Center in Savannah, it serves as the regional hub for teams across the southeast U.S to demonstrate what they have learned in the robotics program. Aligned with the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, this competition inspires the next generation of youth leaders to champion ocean conservation and sustainability. It also creates access to new career opportunities in the blue economy, fostering innovation in conservation. Student and teacher workshops will be held at the Ocean Discovery Center in downtown Savannah.
