and time required to do the project; and theirperceptions of academic and 21st century achievements gained by their students through theproject.In the “bead and thread” analogy, the bead is the underwater robotics curriculum and the threadsare the specific science and engineering design concepts introduced in the curriculum. Page 22.877.5This paper will focus on teacher perceptions of the benefits and challenges on implementing thiscurriculum and, in the final section, relate this project to the existing literature on these benefitsand constraints. Previous papers have reported on the program’s professional developmentmodel for teachers; the
