Registration is now open for the 2025 MATE ROV Competition World Championship, which will take place at the Thunder Bay Marine Sanctuary in Alpena, Michigan, June 17 to 21, 2025.

The MATE ROV Competition is about student learning. It is designed to be an event that challenges students to apply the physics, math, electronics, and engineering skills they are learning in the classroom to solve problems from the workplace.

Mentors (teachers, parents, working professionals) are expected to limit their input to educational and inspirational roles and encouraged to focus on the benefits of the learning process and not simply on “winning” the competition.
