Wisconsin KidWind Solar Energy Workshop for Educators

Saturday, November 7, 2026
9:00am - 3:30pm CST

In this workshop you will review energy and electricity basics, design and test solar and battery circuits, explore related KEEP energy education resources, and preview ready-to-use renewable energy curriculum.

Participants also learn about the Wisconsin KidWind Challenge that takes place in spring each year and gain tips for coaching student teams through the process of designing and constructing small-scale wind turbines and solar arrays. Educators will leave with the resources and confidence to use renewable energy as a lens into hands-on science, technology, and engineering exploration in the classroom (and you’ll get $175 in free gear, too!)

Recommended for teachers of grades 4-12.

Lunch is provided.

Teachers who attend will receive a $150 stipend provided by EDP Renewables.
