Solar Cup High School Education Program
West Valley High Competes and Wins in
the 2021 Solar Cup Challenge.
The pandemic changed the landscape in EMWD’s education programs and it also changed the format of Metropolitan Water District’s Solar Cup program. Traditionally the program is focused on gaining STEAM knowledge to race a solar powered boat.
In 2021, the program broadened in scope, to give students a wider variety of activities to build upon their skills as they began to look to higher education and choose their career paths.
Write-Off Contest
Each year, EMWD hosts a Write-Off contest for students in grades 6-8. This contest requires teacher facilitation and is aligned with the Common Core Standards.
The winning student(s) will have their story published.
