Featured Project · ESFamily Outdoor Adventurers / Parent Child Explorers
Family underwater exploration, real-time observation of coastal habitats, parent child outdoor education, underwater metal detection, interactive treasure hunting, and shared recreational content creation ES Product

Family Outdoor Adventurers / Parent Child Explorers

The parent and child prepared and deployed CHASING Dory Explore together from a coastal pier, then used its live underwater feed to observe seagrass, seabed conditions, and the surrounding marine environment. With guidance from the parent, the child participated directly in operating the underwater drone. During the exploration, the integrated metal detector identified a small metal object on the seabed and activated its visual indicator as the drone approached. The activity transformed a family trip to the coast into an interactive underwater discovery experience combining recreation, environmental observation, technology learning, and parent child collaboration.
