Capital District Wind Challenge

The Capital District Wind Challenge is open to any student, or school teams. There will be two divisions. A 9-12 high school and a 4-8 middle school. If enough teams sign up, we will divide the 4-8 into a 4-5 and a 6-8.

There will be two parts to this event. Two runs in a 4′ x 4′ wind tunnel, best score is used.

Each team will present their project/design to a panel of judges. Each presentation includes the research, and design process.

Any student designed and built generators will be judged in the appropriate age group. All other turbines must be a single kidwind generator.

In the event of a weather emergency, the snow date is March 21, 2026.
