Center
was established with funding from the National Science Foundation in 1997. MATE is an international network of community colleges, secondary schools, universities, research institutions, professional societies, marine industries, and working professionals. MATE's mission is to use marine technology to inspire and challenge students to learn and creatively apply science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to solving real-world problems in a way that strengthens critical thinking, collaboration, entrepreneurship, and innovation.

Stockbridge High Robotics Students Build ROV and Explore Lake Michigan Shipwreck
A children's book inspired a group of high school students to jump into Lake Michigan. But they jumped with a plan. The crew explored the Rouse Simmons Shipwreck from 1912, six miles off the coast of Wisconsin, using their underwater ROV.
Read about their experience HERE.
