Contests
Poster Contest
Each year, EMWD sponsors a poster contest for students in grades TK-5. The winning students, as well as their teachers, are honored at an awards ceremonies hosted by EMWD. Of the winning posters, the top five are submitted to The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California in Los Angeles for consideration for a possible spot on the WATER IS LIFE calendar.
Solar Cup High School Education Program
The pandemic has changed the landscape
in education and has changed Solar Cup as well. The Solar Cup
program has moved away from a program traditionally focused on
gaining STEM knowledge to race a boat. In 2021, the program will
be broader in scope, to give students a wider variety of
activities, building a larger set of skills to add to their high
school resumes as they begin 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.
