Oatland Island Education Center hosted a chance for math and science students to learn a lot about building underwater remotely operated vehicles last night. Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary, the Savannah Science Center and the National Oceanic and  Atmospheric Administration were behind the program that could turn tinker-toy-looking models into future remote explorers.

If they come up with a solid design, they could land an entry in a southeastern regional competition, and the winners there go on to a national competition.
