The Capital District Wind Challenge is a hands-on renewable energy competition that engages students in STEM. Student teams bring small-scale wind turbines that they’ve designed to the Challenge where they will be tested for power output. Teams also meet with a panel of expert judges to present their design process and demonstrate their contextual knowledges.
At this Challenge, student teams will:
- Test their turbine’s energy output in a wind tunnel
- Present in front of a panel of expert judges
Who can participate?
Any group of students in grades 4 to 12 is eligible to enter as a team. This includes students from public and private schools, home schoolers, after school clubs, Scout troops, etc. As long as you have a coach and a team, you can attend!
