KidWind Challenge

  • The KidWind Project consists of a team exploring the science behind wind and other renewable forms of energy.

  • The goal is to make renewable energy widely accessible through hands-on activities that are challenging, engaging, and teach basic science and engineering principles.

  • Students dedicate their year of engagement to building a small turbine to produce as much power as possible.

  • They are tasked with thinking about the best construction techniques and the most innovative design to make their turbine operate.

  • This program is open to high school NSBE Jr. members with students in grades 9-12. NSBE’s KidWind Challenge competition takes place at the Annual Convention.
