Have you wanted to participate in KidWind? Or need a refresher of the fundamentals of the KidWind Challenge? In this workshop you will engage in activities that will introduce you to the science behind wind energy while putting easy-to use tools in your hands to prepare students to compete in the KidWind Challenge. Activities include designing turbine, building a wind turbine, testing the power output, and refining the turbine design to generate the most power. These investigations are powerful vehicles to expose students to “difficult-to-hold-onto” concepts like energy conversion and transfer, electricity generation, and our energy future. You will leave this workshop with the tools to build a KidWind turbine and the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to introduce students to wind energy concepts.
