We invite you to attend the KidWind Challenge, a collaborative showcase celebrating our university’s partnership with KidWind and schools across Orleans Parish under the WE LEAD NOLA program. This event highlights student innovation and renewable energy education in our community.
The challenge is a hands-on design competition in which teams present and test their small-scale wind turbine designs that they have constructed. Students, led by their teachers, will build bring their prototypes  to test a mini wind tunnel. Teams will also have the opportunity to present to the judges to explain their designs and reasoning for developed of their devices.
The winning team will earn the chance to compete at KidWind Worlds, where they will represent our region against teams from over 60 cities nationwide.
