The Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center at the Monterey Community College in collaboration with Washington State University is engaging in a scale-up study of the remote operated vehicle (ROV) program to new audiences of middle and high school students and teachers. Using a train the trainers approach, the MATE ROV project is conducting at least 45 regional professional development workshops in 15 regions for a total of 500 teachers. Scaling-up the project also includes the development of regional teacher leaders who have the resources developed from previous funding and the support from MATE through materials, administrative processes, and professional development to expand the implementation of the MATE ROV competitions. The project outcomes include increased student interest in STEM and STEM careers as well as increasing their knowledge of STEM content and how engineering and science work together to solve real-world problems. Additional outcomes include increasing parental involvement to support and encourage students to continue with STEM studies and careers and the implementation of professional development, instructional resources and mentoring to increase teacher capacity to engage students in the MATE ROV competitions.The project is expanding the focus of the MATE ROV from an after school program to connect the robotics focus of the program to the Next Generation Science Standards and create a series of curricula experiences across the middle grades complete with instructional videos. An online resource for parents is one mechanism that the project is developing to support parental involvement, and the structuring of regional parental advisory boards is a second. The project is conducting a longitudinal study of the students who participate in the MATE ROV competitions. The project is connecting the MATE ROV AlumniWeb to the National Student Clearinghouse to track students from the secondary experiences with the program into their college majors and matriculation. The project is also studying the ways that the variation of the MATE ROV professional development is evident throughout the 15 regional hubs of the project to provide a better understanding of how a technology-rich program moves to scale.

蒙特利社区学院的海洋先进技术教育 (MATE) 中心与华盛顿州立大学合作，正在针对中学生和教师等新受众开展遥控潜水器 (ROV) 项目的扩大研究。 MATE ROV 项目采用培训培训师的方法，在 15 个地区为总共 500 名教师举办了至少 45 个地区专业发展研讨会。扩大该项目还包括培养地区教师领导者，他们拥有从之前的资金中开发的资源以及 MATE 通过材料、管理流程和专业发展的支持，以扩大 MATE ROV 竞赛的实施。该项目的成果包括提高学生对 STEM 和 STEM 职业的兴趣，以及增加他们对 STEM 内容以及工程和科学如何共同解决现实问题的了解。其他成果包括增加家长的参与，支持和鼓励学生继续 STEM 学习和职业生涯，以及实施专业发展、教学资源和指导，以提高教师吸引学生参加 MATE ROV 比赛的能力。该项目正在扩大MATE ROV 来自课外项目，将项目的机器人技术重点与下一代科学标准联系起来，并在中年级创建一系列课程体验，并配有教学视频。家长在线资源是该项目正在开发的支持家长参与的机制之一，而组建地区家长咨询委员会是第二个机制。该项目正在对参加 MATE ROV 竞赛的学生进行纵向研究。该项目将 MATE ROV AlumniWeb 连接到国家学生信息交换所，以跟踪学生从中学项目经历到大学专业和入学的情况。该项目还在研究 MATE ROV 专业发展差异在该项目 15 个区域中心的明显变化，以便更好地了解技术丰富的项目如何扩大规模。
