Mission

Mission
Missouri University of Science and Technology’s Solar House Design Team empowers the next generation of leaders to build a sustainable future. This is accomplished by developing a sustainable, innovative, and original design for the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon. The team possesses a wealth of experience from nine previous competitions, which provides opportunities for students to learn from previous competitions. By understanding the successes and failures of past homes, the team is improving their design and construction processes. Each new home improves the University, community, and environment through focused research, public education, and sustainable design. The team uses hands-on learning to reach its goal of promoting sustainability in a constructive way that allows students to apply what they learn in the classroom in a real-world setting. Our team encourages one another to research and implement innovative practices and designs that interest them to keep each member fully involved and engaged in not only the project, but to the team as well.
