LASTEM Summit
The LASTEM Summit (Leadership and STEM Summit) is an event focused on promoting leadership and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education among young people. Participants engage in a variety of activities, including workshops, panel discussions, keynote speeches, and hands-on demonstrations. These sessions are designed to enhance participants' understanding of STEM concepts, showcase the latest innovations and technologies, and highlight the critical role that leadership plays in advancing STEM initiatives.
SeaPerch Training
The SeaPerch training involves hands-on educational sessions where students learn to build and operate underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). This program is designed to introduce students to basic engineering and robotics principles, fostering interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields.
Additionally, participants often engage in problem-solving challenges and competitions, where they test their ROVs in underwater environments, further enhancing their practical and teamwork skills.
