The Marine Advanced Technology Education
(
MATE
)
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.

Successful MATE Alumnus Giving Back to Region Competition
Eduardo Moreno first competed in MATE as a student at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona then again as a student at Arizona State University. He ultimately earned a Master's degree from Stanford University and started his own company, SeaDrone. Moreno is giving back to MATE this year by volunteering at the MATE Monterey Bay regionals.
