Enerhack KidWind

The Enerhack KidWind Challenge is a hands-on renewable energy competition where students design, build, and test their own small-scale wind turbines. The goal of the challenge is to inspire young innovators to explore engineering, sustainability, and the science of wind power through practical, team-based problem-solving.

This year, the challenge brings together 19 teams from across Estonia, divided into two competition groups:

• Younger Division: 6th–9th grade
• Older Division: 10th–12th grade

Throughout the project, teams work with mentors, experiment with materials, and bring their ideas to life. Their turbines are tested in a professional wind tunnel and evaluated for efficiency, creativity, and engineering design. Participants also complete a renewable-energy knowledge test and take part in an Instant Challenge – a fast-paced building task that rewards teamwork and innovation.
