About REA

At a time of rapid technological advancement, REA provides teachers with additional approaches to help the delivery of STEM-based education and technology in the classroom. Technologies which facilitate the development of the employability skills industry seeks.

Re-Engineering Australia Foundation (REA) was established in 1998 as a not-for-profit social enterprise with the primary objectives of increasing students’ understanding of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) careers. We are now a leader in the design and implementation of STEM career intervention activities, recognised around the world, and the results show.

Over the past decade, our programs have directly mentored hundreds of thousands of students across Australia, from Thursday Island to Tasmania and from Sydney to Perth. Thousands of students are directly mentored in Australia each year with hundreds of thousands more benefiting from having access to the technology and knowledge we implement in school.

Our programs link schools, industry, TAFE, Universities and parents in a collaborative and entrepreneurial environment focused on attracting students to take up STEM-based subjects at school and careers after leaving school.

A significant reason behind the success of our programs is the practical and applied learning techniques we employ. We confront students with exciting challenges. We equip them with world-class tools and connect them to industry mentors to facilitate the development of their thirst for knowledge.

We empower students and inspire them to learn, creating a paradigm shift in the way we educate our children.

WHAT IS STEM

STEM in a methodology designed to integrate the four educational disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics into a learning environment based on real-world applications and real world problem solving.

STEM is not just about more mathematics and more science but rather a curriculum based on the concept of educating students in an interdisciplinary and applied learning method. STEM education has proven to create more enjoyable learning, catalysing innovation and creating more capable students.

STEM is not what you learn - Its what you do with what you learn.

Re-Engineering Australia Foundation Ltd (REA) facilitates career intervention activities which link schools, industry, TAFE, universities and parents in a collaborative and entrepreneurial environment

focused on encouraging students to engage with Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM).

To engage, inspire and educate students, teachers and the community about the value of careers based in Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

To create the entrepreneurs of the future who will re-engineer our Nation’s ability to design and create our economic future.

To provide knowledge, guidance and support to students and teachers which will set them on a path to succeed beyond their own expectations.

Our Mission Our Vision Our Values



SUBS in Schools STEM Challenge BackgroundRe-Engineering Australia Foundation, in association with the Australian Department of Defence and a number of industry stakeholders have developed the SUBS in Schools program. The program is focused on engaging student interest in the technology of submersible vehicles and submarines, and is built on the fundamentals of project-based learning.

SUBS in Schools is a high level STEM project where students have the opportunity to learn about complex Engineering Systems and build an operational Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) or submarine.

Four levels (4) of participation exist within the SUBS in Schools program with each level designed to help students to explore scientific, engineering, materials and manufacturing techniques, with each level focused on different levels of complexity

Underlying these activities is an educational pedagogy which develops employability skills (21st Centry Skills) in students which will aid their transmission to the world or work. These skills include communication, collaboration, presentation, teamwork and entrepreneurship. All of which are highly sought after by industry and invaluable in business environments subject to disruptive technologies.

A fundamental and key differentiator of SUBS in Schools is the requirement for students to work directly with industry partners in the context of their projects.

The tasks faced by the students within SUBS in Schools are no less complex than that faced by engineers working on real marine projects and thus the opportunity to collaborate with industry, as a means of solving these problems, will help to develop the communication and collaboration skills of the students.

OYABILITY SKILLS

The World Economic Forum“Technological trends such as the Fourth Industrial Revolution will create many new cross-functional roles for which employees will need both technical and social and analytical skills. Most existing education systems at all levels provide highly siloed training, and continue many 20th-century educational practices that are hindering progress on today’s talent and labour market issues”.Our Values



Program Fundamentals & Goals

SUBS in Schools is based on Action Learning (AL) principles, which have an extended trajectory in terms of the involvement of the students and the outcomes that are achieved. Our experience has shown that programs which engage intrinsic interest over extended periods of time achieve a much higher impact in influencing children’s career decision choices.

The goals of SUBS in Schools are to:

• Bring career relevance to STEM learning activities, • Excite and encourage students to consider careers and a learning pathway related to STEM, • Provide an alternative learning and skills development in schools, • Building employability skills in students which provide students with increased employment options, • Facilitate a cross-curricular education environment to enhance the outcomes of the education system,• Promote innovation and the development of entrepreneurship in young people,• Develop skills in students which are directly transferable to industry roles, • Increase the number of students taking up STEM based careers in support of satisfying the skills requirement of large-scale Engineering

programs. • Facilitate technology transfer from industry to schools and the community at large, • Raise STEM career opportunity awareness within schools and the wider community, • Provide a catalyst for encouraging interaction and collaboration between schools, industry and the community, • Encourage the collaboration between schools based in metropolitan environments with schools in country areas and internationally, • Where appropriate, use the power of role models to guide and support our youth in the process of career development, • Ensure that Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics becomes a part of the everyday language of students.

SUBS in Schools is structured to allow teachers and students to develop their understanding of design and technology over time.



SUBS in Schools is a multi-disciplinary challenge in which teams of school students between ages 12 - 18 have the opportunity to design and build mini remotely operated Vehicles (ROV’s) and submarines. The programs has been designed in a number of stages with each stage facilitating an increase in students interaction with the concepts involved in under water vehicles allowing students to grow their knowledge and understanding over time. Each level of the program, while having specific outcomes, is designed not to be overly prescriptive in terms of implementation. Teachers are encouraged to implement learning processes that work withing their own educational environment.

Stepping Stones in the ProgramLevel 1 - Build a mini ROVIs designed for students aged 12-14 as an introduction to STEM and underwater vehicle operation. The task is to build and operate a mini ROV with the focus being on learning the principles of buoyancy, propulsion and control. Small ROV model kits, together with instructions, are made available to the schools.

Level 2 - Design of a Large ROVThis is aimed at students aged 12-17 and involve a much larger component of design and construction. Students are required to build a larger scale ROV, able to support ancillary items such as cameras, robot arms and the like and able to undertake specific underwater tasks. At this level the students will be required to extend their understanding of the maths and science around underwater operation together with robotic control.

Level 3 - Spatial Design of an Accommodation Space on a SubmarineThe task is to form a virtual design company, which will make a bid for the design of an accommodation space on-board a future submarine project. The students will then bring this design into a virtual reality environment to demonstrate their design.

This level is designed for students ages 12 - 18 and is well suited to schools who do not have a significant workshop facility.

Level 4 - Design and build an Operational Submarine.At Level 4 students take on the design of an operating scale submarine. The task is to form a new design company from 3-5 students to design and build a new remotely operated submarine. The submarine must work within an operating environment defined by a set of rules.

Level 1 - Mini ROV

Level 2 - Large ROV

Level 3 - Spatial Design

Level 4 - Submarine

Target Student Audience



Level 2: Design & Build A Large ROV

Project DescriptionLevel 2 is aimed at students aged 12 to 18 and includes a much larger component of construction. Students are required to build a larger scale ROV which is able to support ancillary items such as a camera, robot arms and able to undertake specific tasks. This will require the students sourcing sets of components to allow them to build an operating ROV. At this level the students will be required to extend their understanding of the maths and science of underwater environments to also include robotic operation in underseas environments.

Resources A text book “Building Your Own Underwater Robot” is available and contains instructions on building two different ROV’s. This resource also contains a significant knowledge base that teachers can use to structure their lesson plans and a number of classroom activities which explain the key principles involved in design for underwater environments. All of the teaching material required for this level of the project is contained in this book. The students could be asked to buy this textbook or the school can choose to purchase a number of these and provide them for the students. This text book contains all of the instructions needed to build an ROV. The text book is available via http://www.envizage.com.au/. There is also a larger teacher reference text book ‘Underwater Robotics: Science, Design & Fabrication’ which is highly recommended. This is also available via http://www.envizage.com.au/ .

All that is left for this level of the challenge to be implemented is a set of rules for the challenge component of the project. Access to Technical and Competition Regulations is via http://rea.org.au/subs-in-schools/.

Project Costs The cost involved in this project should be able to be borne by the schools involved. The estimated cost of building an ROV are set out on Page 10. These figures include GST.

Competition Pathway

It is intended that this challenge level will involve the opportunity for students to participate in competitions nationally and possibly, internationally.



You are a new design company making a bid for the design of a new remotely controlled submersible vehicle. There are special design specifications for this vehicle and parameters you must work within. While you have been provided with the information to build the ROV you will have to adapt any robotic arms or cameras that you will need to complete the competition task. You will be required to collaborate with industry and these links are a very important part of the challenge marking criteria. The complete design for manufacture process will need to be documented, along with team marketing and promotion. You will also need to form one or more specific industry partnerships to obtain advice or even assistance with manufacturing components not possible within your school.

As in industry, to design and manufacture your project, you will need to work as part of a team of 3–5 students. Ideally team roles should be allocated to each person. However, you may have to double up on some roles and responsibilities, depending on the team size.

Project Deliverables: The project has four main program deliverables:

Project Portfolio Create tow 11 page portfolios. One covering Engineering and the second covering Enterprise elements of the project and examining associated design influences such as:

• Team roles and duties, • The science behind underwater operation, • Industry collaboration, • The design cycle and innovation, • Company Marketing Strategy • Sponsorship

ROV Model Design and manufacture a working scale ROV as per the instructions provided. This vehicle will have to be able to dive, maneuver and carry out a number of tasks within a set of time constraints and will have to meet a number of design limitations set by the rules. It will also have to be remotely operated and be able to communicate with the driver (captain) who will be located on land.

Verbal Presentation Prepare an 10-minute verbal presentation covering the team’s design(s) for presentation to a group of representatives from industry.

Trade Booth: Produce a trade booth – usually a 2m (w) x 1m (D) x 2.4m (H) expo style booth aimed at selling your virtual company’s products to the Department of Defence. This will include the development of their company uniforms.

Development Class Restrictions. Within Development Class Students are limited to using a base level or entry model. This is designed to create a level playing field for the students, limiting the design changes to only a number of key areas, allowing the students to focus on learning the science of under water robotics.

The key design area which students should focus on in Development class include:• Design of covers for the propellers,• Development of the buoyancy of the ROV,• Design of a method of either holding a video camera, like a Go Pro or installing a live video feed,• Collaboration with industry,• Development of team portfolio,• Development of Trade Display,• Development of Verbal Presentation covering their team and design elements.

Development Class ROV KitThe Development Class kit is a basic ROV kit. It has been designed as a starting point into the construction of an operating ROV and a common denominator across the Development Class Category. This ROV will work once assembled but will require the students to design and possibly 3D print the following components:

• Safety covers for each of the propulsion units/propellers.• A suitable method of mounting wither a fixed camera such as a go-pro or video camera to the ROV.• Any fixtures which will help the ROV perform its duties under test.

Students will also have to determine the buoyancy and balance of their ROV so that it operates effectively.

The ROV is supplied with wires and ring terminal attachments to allow connection to the back of each switch; no soldering is necessary in the control box. Note: Soldering and waterproofing is still required to attach the motors to the bottom end of the tether. The Development Class kit is also designed to be a reusable learning tool year after year. The control box is easy to disassemble to its basic components. Few of these components need to be discarded, and with a few new ring terminals and a few feet of new wire, the Development Class ROV kit can be assembled again and again, year after year.

The PVC frame is supplied with the Development Class ROV Kit.

NOTES:• Purchase price includes GST.• The power supply is not included in the kit.

Joystick Controlled – Type D - ROV Utilising Arduino Processor.The Type D digital control ROV Kit implements the same functionality as the Type A, but also adds an Arduino processor for digital control and sensor handling, blue-tooth connectivity, and an upgraded detachable tether connector.

The Type D is an easy to construct ROV kit featuring analog or digital joystick control of four on-board waterproof motors. It comes video ready with two video input channels and easy power out for monitors and cameras (sold separately). A volt and ammeter, as well as multiple LED indicators, display vehicle status. Modular connections mean that control boxes and vehicles are interchangeable. All of the controls are contained inside a compact, protective equipment case.

The Type D ROV Kit comes with detailed build instructions. Additional lessons will instruct users on basic speed control with joysticks, alternate motor configurations, soldering components to a printed circuit board, waterproofing and much more.

NOTE: NOT included but can be purchased separately: Power Supplies, Power adapters, Frame parts, Video System (cameras, monitors, cables & connectors).

The SUBS in Schools ROV kits do not come with a power source. You will need to provide a power source to power your ROV.

Power Pack Options:Power-packs are battery packs that will provide the power you need. They are often kept in vehicles to jump-start a car battery if there is a problem. They will run down over time but can be recharged easily by plugging them into a wall socket. A standard power pack should be able to run a Development Class ROV for 1 to 2 hours.

The power packs will need an adapter for the cigarette lighter adapter to the Anderson Plug supplied with the kit.

12 volt Deep-Cycle Marine/RV car battery:Large lead acid batteries are another way to power the ROV. We recommend Deep-Cycle Marine / RV battery, as they are designed to be run down and recharged many times (a standard 12 volt car battery is not designed for this). The battery should be able to run a Development Class ROV for 4 to 6 hours or you can run 3 ROVs at a time for an hour or more. The battery will need to be recharged after that. To recharge a car type battery, you will need to purchase a charger.

The battery will also need an adapter for the Anderson Plug supplied with the kit to the battery. This adapter can be made of Alligator clips that connect to the battery posts.

Power Supplies



Access to 3D Design SoftwareA significant component of any product development process is the development of a 3D model. It is from a 3D model that many design decisions are made. A 3D model can also be a very useful component of the marketing process.

Schools delivering the SUBS in Schools Technology Challenge regardless of whether they intend on entering teams in the competition MUST register their school on-line via the REA website by the advertised deadline. There is NO COST for registering schools.

For competition planning purposes, teachers wishing to enter student teams in the SUBS in Schools competition MUST ALSO register their team/s on-line via the REA website by the advertised deadline.

To register your school and team, go to: www.rea.org.au/subs-in-schools/

REA will also then work with the schools to undertake the following:

• REA will forward teachers all the information and documentation for each level of the program e.g. for level 4 this will include manufacturing instructions, drawings, 3D CAD models and parts lists.

• Engage the school with an industry partner.• Works with the schools to seek funding from industry to purchase the components of the submarine scale model. • Provide access to the textbooks and curriculum material, including in some cases, work plans. • Provide contact details of key schools in your state who you will be able to seek assistance from. • Provide contact details for the major sponsors where they have appointed a person to work with the schools.

Signed Media Consent Forms MUST be completed by students and returned to REA no later than one week prior to the published date for the relevant event. This form is downloadable from www.rea.org.au/subs-in-schools/. Note: A parent/guardian signature is required for all students under the age of 16 years.
