MIT Pre-Orientation Program Discover Ocean Engineering: I worked with a team of two other people to create this waterproof sea perch. We could remotely control three different motors, allowing the sea perch to travel in all directions and change its depth in water.


I worked with my teammates to assemble the waterproof sea perch. I worked to establish a state of neutral buoyancy with the balancing and location of the floats and the weights. Finally, I tested the sea perch’s performance in an ocean laboratory,  a swimming pool, and the Atlantic Ocean.
