A marine-cleaning robot competition was featured at the junior division of the Eighth Underwater Robot Festival held at Iwakuni, Japan in 2022. The theme of the competition was “Life Below Water,” which is the 14th goal of SDGs, and consisted of poster presentations on marine-debris problems and a robot competition to compete in debris-collection ability. In addition, questionnaires were sent out before and after the competition to analyze the level of understanding of robot development and SDGs after the competition. This paper reports an outline of the junior division and results of the educational effect using questionnaire analysis.
