ACEP鈥檚 KidWind Challenge is Online
The KidWind Challenge is a student-oriented wind turbine design contest. Students
learn about wind energy through designing and constructing their own wind turbines.
The goal is to create a wind turbine that is efficient, creative and highly functional.
While designing and constructing the wind turbines, students also perform research
to better understand the science of wind, be analytical about testing protocols, think
creatively about solutions, and work collaboratively.
The Challenge is open to students of all ages who are excited to learn about wind
energy.
To compete in the Challenge, teachers need to apply and submit their results to mefrey@alaska.edu
by February 28, 2014.
