About the Camp
Filipino students live close to important marine environments but have limited opportunities to access, build, or use technologies for ocean research. The camp helps bridge that gap through practical, interdisciplinary training.
What makes the camp different?
Hands-on rather than lecture-only
Combines marine science, engineering, technology, and communication
Uses affordable and accessible tools
Connects technology with real conservation needs
Emphasizes locally led solutions
Helps students communicate results beyond the scientific community
Who is the camp is for?
Students may come from:
Marine biology, fisheries, and environmental science
Engineering, electronics, and robotics
Computer science and information technology, communications, and related disciplines
Applicants do not have to be engineers or marine biologists. Curiosity, motivation, teamwork, and interest in ocean conservation are equally important.
How the camp works
Participants will be placed into interdisciplinary groups. Teams will learn, design, build, test, and present together with guidance from mentors.
