Solar Boat from SD High SciTech Goes The Distance
The SciTech team found the perfect balance between solar energy and energy conservation and scored the maximum number of points on the written technical reports that are required for all teams to compete.
The three-day competition with 40 teams from around the Southwest began with a series of qualifying events to ensure the boats met rules and were safe and seaworthy.
On day two, teams attached solar-collections panels to the boats for the endurance races. On the final day, the panels were removed and, using solar energy stored in batteries, raced down a 200-meter stretch – like drag racing on water.
“Over the last three days, all of the Solar Cup participants have had hands-on experiences in problem-solving, teamwork and sportsmanship that will serve them well as they continue to complete their educations and start their careers. In the end, in our eyes, they’re all winners,” said Randy Record, district vice chairman.
Solar Cup is the culminating event from seven months of hard work by student teams to design, equip and build their 16-foot, single-seat canoes out of marine-grade plywood powered only by the sun.

iHigh is partnering with the district's Operation Student Success grant to offer summer first-time and credit recovery math courses (Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, PreCalculus).
Military dependents will have priority for enrollment, based on the grant funding from the U.S. Department of Defense. However, registration is available to all San Diego Unified School District students until capacity is reached (approximately 500 students). Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis for non-military dependents.
First-time Courses: Students may register for one, one-semester course during the six-week session. The time commitment for first-time courses is approximately three hours per day to equal one semester.
Students must report in person to one of the iHigh summer locations for proctored midterms and final exams. The proposed locations are Madison High, Lincoln High and iHigh/Old Town.
Credit Recovery Courses: Students may register for one or two credit recovery courses in different math subjects. Students should take advantage of the tutoring offered at one of the iHigh summer locations to assist them in successfully completing the class.
Tutoring & Exam Proctoring: Credentialed math teachers will be available at iHigh summer locations for students to receive tutoring and academic assistance.
Summer Application Process: Students will need to submit a copy of their transcript and current class schedule in order to register. Parent permission and student email address are also needed.
