Statement and appeal from our successful and aspirational ROV Team (Young Engineers.)

On the 15th of April, 2026, impROVise, Keith Grammar School’s ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) team took part in the MATE (Marine Advanced Technology Education) competition.
We proceeded to win, which has granted us the privilege of attending the engineering competition’s international final in St. John’s, Canada.
The competition requires us to structure ourselves as a company, making us give a presentation and product demos of a vehicle we built entirely from scratch.
As a team, we have faced many challenges, both before the event and during, but these difficulties have been quickly overcome. As our company tagline says: we are constantly working well under pressure. The competition from the other teams was fierce, adding even more to our drive for success.
We are thrilled to have the brilliant opportunity to represent not only ourselves, KGS and Moray, but also Scotland and even Europe on an international level at the stage we compete at. We, at impROVise, would like to extend the deepest of thanks to our local community and our sponsors for the fantastic level of support for our project.

We now move on to starting our fundraising drive. We would really appreciate if you could share this link with your network to help us reach our fundraising goal and get the whole team out to Canada - https://gofund.me/211ec66c7

Thank you

Thank you Robert Gordon University for hosting the event. Fantastic as always.

Big congratulations to the team from Keith Grammar School after winning the MATE ROV Scotland Regional Competition hosted on campus on Wednesday, with their team, ImpROVise, now set to represent Scotland at the MATE ROV World Championship in St John’s, Canada this June.

Their impressive performance in the underwater robotics challenge has earned them a spot on the global stage this summer.

The competition saw students design, build and pilot their own Remotely Operated Vehicles, while also pitching their ideas to industry judges, showcasing not just technical skill, but creativity and teamwork too.

This is an incredible achievement and a proud moment for the school and the wider community. We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to all the supporters who helped make this event and the students’ participation possible.

Wishing the ImpROVise team the very best of luck with the Championships. 👏
