GSL YES! Team Competes at MNRES Solar Boat Regatta

The 26th annual Solar Boat Regatta was held Saturday May 19th at Riley Lake Park. Glencoe Silver Lake participated in the student division. At the MRES’ Solar Boat Regatta, teams demonstrate knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to design and build boats powered by the sun. They compete in a speed and slalom races, culminating with a one-hour endurance race.
This event has given hundreds of middle and high school students, and others willing to step up to the challenge, valuable and unique experience with solar electricity, wiring, motors, fluid dynamics, boat design, construction, and teamwork. By racing the solar powered boat that they have built, students experience the thrill of competition and the pride of accomplishment that comes with creating something useful and fun.
