Sea, Air, & Land Challenge - Suffolk Public Schools 2023

Suffolk Public School's Sea Air and Land Challenge took place May 13, 2023 at Col. Fred Cherry Middle School in Suffolk, Virginia. SeAL is a STEM initiative in which teams of high school or middle school aged students learn about the engineering process through the design and build of a robotic system. The systems are then used to compete in challenges relevant to the Department of Defense which mimic missions encountered by the military, national security agencies and first responders. Contact your school today to find out more and how to participate!
