Wind is one of many ways that we are able to harness energy in an alternative and more sustainable way than using fossil fuels.
There are a great number of wind turbine designs used to gather the wind's energy and part of your challenge is to consider key principles of STEAM in order to create an efficient turbine.
You are tasked with creating a wind turbine in order to generate renewable energy. You will have access to appropriate materials and tools to help make your turbine.
In your teams, you should first plan the design of your turbine, considering the following:
Size
Height
Blade length
Blade shape (aerodynamics)
Blade angle
Blade direction
