GREEN BAY (WLUK) — A Green Bay Einstein Project passed its water test Tuesday.

Aquatic Robotic Camp students built and launched their own buoys on a UW-Green Bay pond to measure oxygen levels and water clarity.

The project is smaller scale of award-winning research being conductedby UW-Green Bay and Cellcom in lower Green Bay.

The Aquatic Robotic Camp buoys are armed with wireless sensors, powered by Cellcom, to send data back to the students.

For one week, students will collect and analyze the data their buoys send back, just like UWGB scientists.

Organizers say they hope this project sparks students’ interest in STEM-related careers.
