Here are some tips I learned my first year doing SeaPerch.
- Make multiple copies of the Instructions.
- Purchase a butane soldering iron.
- Obtain extra PVC cutters, soldering irons, scissors, vises, and get a few hand drills. These items can be borrowed as they are only needed for a short time.
- Create a calendar to map out the construction progress.
- Find some Parent Sponsors.
- Build at least one campus obstacle course.
- Start making the Presentation poster at least 6 weeks before the Regional competition.
