blueTIDES by Blue Robotics harnesses Technology, Innovation, Discovery, and Exciting Stuff to fuel epic, inclusive events driving the future of the Blue Economy.

Join us Thursday, February 12th from 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM CST, as we celebrate the launch of the Blue Tech Academy in the Gulf Region, a new program being developed in partnership with the University of Southern Mississippi’s Marine Education Center! A collaborative effort between Blue Robotics and MEC, this new program will provide students with hands-on, applications-based learning focused on using USVs in shallow coastal systems.

​To kick-off the program launch in 2026, we are inviting you to join us for food, drinks, and open conversation on the use of marine tech in education. Hope to see you there!
