Summary:
|
The Paloma Valley High School (PVHS) Solar Boat Club students, under the direction of Club Advisor Joe Jennings, have the opportunity to attend the 2020 Solar Cup competition at Lake Skinner on May 14-17, 2020. This is an overnight field trip of three (3) nights. Per the EMWD Solar Cup rules, there is a maximum of twenty (20) crew members per team.
The 2020 Solar Cup is a water conservation project sponsored annually by the Eastern Municipal Water District. This event is free, open to the public, and will be held at the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California's Lake Skinner reservoir.
The PVHS crew will be working many hours on this seven-month project. Students will have attended workshops, completed two (2) research papers, made a Public Service Announcement/Media Relations Notice on water conservation, and completed various other requirements for the 2020 Solar Cup. This event features solar-powered boats that students design, build, equip, and then race. It is a contest of design, speed, and endurance that allows the participants to use an alternative power source in a real world application.
