WelcomeGetting involved is easy. We provide a teachers guide that steps you through the process of establishing and running SUBS in Schools and to assist we can connect you to other teachers involved in the program who will be able to share knowledge, experience and resources.
Schools wanting to undertake the SUBS in Schools program must register online. We will then include you in all the appropriate emails, newsletters and communications that will help you get started in SUBS in Schools. To be able to participate in State or National competitions all teams MUST be registered prior to their first competition event and prior to the published team registrations deadline. In addition, a Challenge Agreement Form MUST be completed by the supervising teacher, parent/guardian where applicable and returned to REA prior to the cut off dates. There are no fees associated with School Registrations. Fees will only apply to those teams that represent their region at a State or National Final. |
Stepping Stones in the Program
The knowledge that currently exists within schools and the teaching community about submarines is very limited. SUBS in Schools is structured to allow teachers to develop their understanding of submarines and the technology behind submarines over time.
Each level also offers a staged learning process where both the students and teachers can explore and develop their understanding of the STEM and its application in industry. Students will need to explore a broad range of scientific and engineering, materials and manufacturing techniques to build either an operating model of a miniature Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle (ROV), build a larger and more functional operating ROV, design an operational space within a submarine or build a fully operational submarine.

Classes of Competition
Level 1: Build a MiniROV
Project Description: Underwater ROV’s provide a fun and fascinating way for students to learn the rigor of maths and science in a practical way. This project is meant to be an introduction to the operation of ROV’s.
Level 1 is designed for year 7 or 8 students as an introduction to the STEM components of underwater activity. The task is to build and operate a mini ROV with the focus being on learning the principles of buoyancy, propulsion and control.
It is our hope that the interests of students in operating and understanding underwater ROV’s will increase and they will continue to discover and learn about the many opportunities that exist in this exciting and growing field.
