SUMMARY:2026 Long Island KidWind Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The KidWind 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 will meet with a panel of expert judges to present their design process\, demonstrate their contextual knowledge\, and tackle instant challenge activities. \n\nStudents will build and test wind turbines and then compete against other teams in their age division (6th-8th or 9th-12th). The winning teams at the Long Island KidWind Challenge will have the opportunity to attend the 2027 World KidWind Challenge.
