Solar Boat Regatta – May 18, St. Paul You and your students are invited to design a solar-powered boat to participate in the Minnesota Renewable Energy Society (MRES) Solar Boat Regatta. Students can build from scratch or retrofit an existing boat. Your curriculum and boat design can be as simple or complicated as you choose. MRES has a few basic starter kits (solar panel, motor and boat) available for loan on a first-come, first-serve basis and solar experts who will lend advice as needed. The regatta is Saturday, May 18 on Lake Phalen in St. Paul. Boats compete in speed races, slalom races and endurance races. www.solarboatrace.net
