Course Description

Subs in Schools allows students to explore the complex challenges of maritime engineering and hydrodynamics using coding and electronics as they design and build operational submarines and ROV’s (Remotely Operated Vehicles).

The SUBS in Schools Technology Challenge is the result of collaboration between REA, the Department of Defence, and industry stakeholders including the Australian Submarine Corporation and Saab Australia.

Students design either a Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle (ROV) or a Submarine which they must operate. They then compete in the State Final at the Royal Adelaide Show.

Students undertaking Subs in Schools must undertake the subject for a full year.
