Grassfield High School Programming Students Learn About VDMC and OERI Projects

November 17, 2025

Grassfield High School Programming students visited the ODU Office of Enterprise Research and Innovation and got to spend some time in the SEALab.

Students got the chance to speak with Hector Garcia and John Shull with the SEALab about their projects and their work with Unity.

After the presentation, students participated in a Maritime Maintenance Programming Challenge, where using the Sphero RVRs, students had to design an attachment that would help clean debris out of a tank and program the RVR to do so autonomously.

We are so grateful for our continued partnership with Grassfield High School and for the opportunity to help inspire and support the future innovators, problem-solvers, and maritime leaders!
