Rutgers University Glider Technology Workshop

Date: June 8-12, 2026

Description: Participants will be introduced to underwater robots while gaining hands on experience prepping, ballasting, deploying and piloting. This is an exciting opportunity for undergraduate students with little to no experience using this equipment as part of their courses or laboratories.
