KIDWIND CHALLENGE
​
Grades 6-8
Are you creative? Do you love to tinker and problem solve? Are you interested in engineering, electricity, or alternative energy? Then the KidWind Challenge is for you! This is a hands-on student challenge to design, construct and test a small scale wind turbine.
KidWind Challenge is an annual event that allows students to explore wind energy through a hands-on, STEM competition.
​
In this competition, teams will design and build their turbines before attending a regional KidWind Challenge at EHT PAL. At the challenge, teams will test their turbines for energy output in a wind tunnel, present their turbine design and build process to a panel of judges, and participate in a hands-on task.
The top winners in each age division from the regional challenges move on to compete at the statewide challenge. Teams that win at the statewide KidWind Challenge are invited to attend the National KidWind Challenge.
