Abstract	Ocean Drifters are a low-cost and easy-to-use platform that are commonly used for studying ocean currents. With added interest in studying the ocean, emphasis has been taken to make it more accessible. A pilot course focused on introducing the topic of ocean sensing was announced. The HC 407 course will begin an initial trial in Fall 2022. The course requires students to build their own oceanic drifter from a provided kit to become more familiar with oceanographic sensing. As part of the development for the course, this research focuses on the design and documentation for the drifter. This document outlines the motivations, technical information, verification tests, and subsequent results of the research conducted.
