@droneprogrammer I've been dabbling with ArduSub (https://www.ardusub.com/) and ROS (https://www.ros.org/). There's still a ton to learn, but I'm enjoying the process. #ArduSub #ROS

@subaquaticninja Seen some of their educational programs for kids, too. It's great to have more paths for young people to become interested in oceanography! #FutureExplorers

We can also use open-source tools to crowdsource data collection for projects related to climate change and species preservation. #OpenData #ClimateChange

What are some tips to build or customize my underwater drone? I'd love to learn more about the building/prototyping process. #DIYDrone
