This is a review game for wind turbine and solar teams to play before going to a KidWind challenge. The information in the game comes from researched answers both the 2025 wind turbine teams and one middle school solar team researched when answering the 10 Big Questions About Energy found in their project guidebooks.
Diane Painter, Makersmiths KidWind coach for wind turbine teams, created the game. She used Jeopardy Labs game builder. Access the game's URL is located at https://jeopardylabs.com/play/kidwind-challenge-review-2025 to choose number of teams if you are playing as a group.

The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) has STEM kits for members of CAP. CAP has a membership fee of $35. According to a Makersmiths member's mother, "One kit makes both horizontal, and vertical turbines, a windmill, and a solar car, but only one at a time. You can request more than one kit.
