Solar Cup High School Education Program
The Solar Cup high school education
program is a solar-powered boat race competition where students
design, build, equip and race solar-powered boats. It is a
contest of design, speed and endurance that allows the
participants to use an alternative power source in a real world
application.
This FREE event is open to the public and is held in the month of May at The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s (MWD) Lake Skinner reservoir in the Temecula.

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. In addition, students and teachers are honored at an awards ceremony hosted by EMWD, where they will receive copies of the book, a trophy and a prize.
