3.5 Presentation Abstract (Optional)
The opportunity to participate in Presentations at the International SeaPerch Challenge is is an optional activity. Interested teams must apply to give a short presentation on their SeaPerch season by submitting a presentation abstract describing their proposed presentation. Presentations will not be scored and will be open to other participants at the event.
3.5.1 Application Process
Interested teams must submit a one-paragraph abstract outlining what they would like to present (maximum: 100 words):
What makes your ROV unique from others in the competition?
In what ways have you made connections to a real-world situation using your ROV?
Selection Notice: Teams that are selected will be notified by May 05, 2026.
3.5.2 Content/Structure
For selected presenting teams, the structure of the presentations will go as follows:
Each team has a 10-minute presentation time, that includes 7 minutes to present and 3 minutes for question and answer from their presentation session.
Presentations will be grouped into sessions including multiple teams across different competition classes. All teams are required to attend the full session to which they are assigned.
Presentation sessions will be led by a moderator who will ask questions and facilitate discussions following team presentations.
Networking and open dialogue to share perspective and ask other teams questions during the discussion period in each session is strongly encouraged.
Presentations will be open to attendance by teams, mentors, and spectators.
Teams will not have access to AV so no PowerPoint or other multimedia presentations will be allowed; however, props and models are welcome.
This is not a scored event. Presentation abstracts will be reviewed and eligible for an invitation to present at the International SeaPerch Challenge. Presentation abstracts will be published on the SeaPerch website.
