Metropolitan has annual programs that engage students of all ages with activities focused on artistic expression, engineering, science and teamwork.
Solar Cup™ is a seven-month high-school program that culminates in a weekend competition where teams race solar powered boats they build. Students learn about conservation of natural resources, electrical and mechanical engineering, problem solving and teamwork. Click here for more information on Solar Cup™.
For this year, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the weekend competition was cancelled. In its place is an exciting Solar Cup™ 2.0 which offers up weekly student challenges in a variety of disciplines like engineering, art, a conservation public service message.
