What is SUBS in School Technology Challenge?
This program was conceived in
response to the Australian Government’s announcement of the $50 billion Future
Submarine Program. It is the world’s first in-class submarine design
competition.
Noosa District was involved in the
writing, development and implementation of this globally recognised program since
the beginning.
Why is SUBS in School Technology Challenge Unique:
Students develop a wide range of skills from design,
engineering and manufacturing to the ‘soft skills’ sought after by industry
(project management, teamwork, collaboration, problem solving and
communication). Adding to this the complexities of underwater
design, coding and electronics.
Students design either a Remotely Operated
Underwater Vehicle (ROV) or a submarine which they must operate. Alternatively they can build a three-dimensional
virtual scale model of living quarters in a futuristic submarine.
The fundamentals of SUBS in Schools are
equipping young people to take part in the new set of industries being
developed as part of the Future Submarine Program.
