The Underwater ROV Competition is officially underway! Teams are putting their remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to the test in a series of intense underwater challenges.
🎉👏The Mitkof Vikings Lego Robotics team competed in the Alaska state competition on February 1st in Anchorage. The team completed three rounds with their robot that they preprogrammed to complete multiple challenges within a two and a half minute time limit.
They also presented their innovative project which dealt with helping Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs) attach securely to tidewater glaciers, so researchers can take samples accurately and from a safe distance. Students observed researchers from Oregon State University this past summer deal with this challenge and then designed and built an ROV with tension arms to grab onto the ice face to allow secure sampling.
The team won first place for their project and fourth place in the overall competition! This earned them an invitation to compete at the national level!!🤖🧊

The House and Senate Education Committees will take public testimony on “Alaska’s education funding crisis” this week on Wednesday and Friday.
Both the House and Senate have kicked off the session with education funding as a priority, and the legislature hopes to pass a BSA bill early in the session. To that end, both the House and Senate Education Committees are offering public testimony opportunities this week to address HB 69 and the state of Alaska's education funding. This bill would introduce immediate inflation proofing and a $1,000 increase to the BSA for FY26 and
an additional increase of $404 for FY27 and FY28
These committee hearings are the best opportunity for you to tell the legislature about the impacts of state funding decisions on our local budgets and programs in Petersburg.
