We are thrilled to announce an exciting collaboration that had us brimmed with enthusiasm! Thermoprene is proud to introduce our partnership with the talented students of Oostburg High School and their remarkable ROV Team!

Oostburg High School’s ROV Team has been making waves in the world of STEM education, and their dedication to innovation and learning has truly impressed us. As a company specializing in custom manufacturing and supplying plastic, aluminum, and rubber extrusions, we recognize the significance of empowering the next generation of engineers and problem solvers.

When we first learned about Oostburg High School’s passion for robotics and their ambitious ROV project, we knew we had to get involved. While we typically focus on bulk orders for plastic frames, we were genuinely moved by their determination and vision for their ROV. It was an easy decision for us to support them with one of our custom made 1.5 in x 1.5 in plastic quad rail frames.

In our partnership with Oostburg High School’s ROV Team, we took great pride in not only providing the essential materials but also covering all the costs associated with manufacturing and shipping the frame. We believe that investing in STEM education is an investment in the future, and we are thrilled to contribute to such a worthy cause.

Oostburg High School ROV team plowed through the regional competition on April 30, 2023 in Milwaukee, MI, and moved onto the international competition in Longmont, CO on June 22-24^th. This was the team’s third year in a row to move onto the international competition. Judges awarded the Engineering MVP Award to one of the team’s software engineers. They were one of six recipients awarded this honor out of over 60 teams.

At Thermoprene, we believe that innovation knows no boundaries. By partnering with Oostburg High School’s ROV Team, we hope to inspire other students and educational institutions to explore the vast possibilities that STEM offers. Together, let us shape a future where young minds can dream, create, and bring their ideas to life.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Oostburg High School’s ROV Team for giving us the opportunity to be a part of their journey. We are honored to have played a part in this.
