Goals:
Team members discover the promise and limitations of wind energy technology. This includes an understanding of energy justice, explicitly making energy more accessible, affordable, clean, and democratically managed for all communities.
As team members, they design, build, and test their functional wind turbines or solar projects.
Teams compete with their peers in a supportive environment and have opportunities to also compete with other KidWind teams at regional, state and national KidWind Challenges.
Follow the links in the horizontal table of contents to learn how to prepare KidWind participants to complete wind turbine and solar project initiatives.
