SUMMARY:Rio Grande Valley (Zapata County Independent SD) KWC Jr
DESCRIPTION:The KidWind Challenge Junior is an event designed for students and teams who want a KidWind Challenge experience\, but don’t have the knowledge\, time\, or resources to do it on their own. Teachers (coaches) and students just show up to the event and complete everything on-site. No preparation is required! Students will break up into teams and design blades for already-assembled towers. The event organizers will provide all the materials students will need and will have a wind tunnel on hand so that teams can test their designs out. This is a great event for regions that have not previously had KidWind Challenges and can help students and teachers build confidence and gain experience to participate in an official KidWind Challenge the following year. \nStudents who participate in KidWind Challenge Junior can go on to register for an In-Person KidWind Challenge or submit their project to the Online Wind Challenge to continue gaining experience and for a chance to receive an invitation to the World KidWind Challenge.

SUMMARY:Rio Grande Valley (United Independent SD - Finley ES) KWC Jr
DESCRIPTION:The KidWind Challenge Junior is an event designed for students and teams who want a KidWind Challenge experience\, but don’t have the knowledge\, time\, or resources to do it on their own. Teachers (coaches) and students just show up to the event and complete everything on-site. No preparation is required! Students will break up into teams and design blades for already-assembled towers. The event organizers will provide all the materials students will need and will have a wind tunnel on hand so that teams can test their designs out. This is a great event for regions that have not previously had KidWind Challenges and can help students and teachers build confidence and gain experience to participate in an official KidWind Challenge the following year. \nStudents who participate in KidWind Challenge Junior can go on to register for an In-Person KidWind Challenge or submit their project to the Online Wind Challenge to continue gaining experience and for a chance to receive an invitation to the World KidWind Challenge.

SUMMARY:Enerhack KidWind Challenge 2027
DESCRIPTION:Enerhack KidWind Challenge brings students together to explore wind energy through hands-on engineering. In teams of two to four\, students design and build their own small wind turbine\, test ideas\, and learn how design choices affect its performance. An adult mentor can advise the team\, but the students do the designing and building themselves. \nThe competition has two divisions: grades 6–9 and grades 10–12. On competition day at Tallinn University of Technology\, teams test their turbines in a wind tunnel\, present their design process to a panel of judges\, complete a clean energy knowledge test\, and tackle an Instant Challenge. \nThe winning team in the older division earns the opportunity to represent Estonia at the 2027 World KidWind Challenge in the United States.

SUMMARY:Colo. KidWind HS Competition
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to harness the wind and unleash your inner engineer! Every year\, Colorado students dive into KidWind competitions at Colorado State University’s Spur campus crafting their very own wind turbines and flexing their competitive muscles in a lively atmosphere. \nKidWind Powerhouse is an all-day competition (typically 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.). During the challenge\, teams evaluate their turbines’ energy output in a wind tunnel\, present their design and building processes to a panel of judges\, and engage in hands-on wind challenges at our 100\,000-square-foot research facility \nThere is no registration cost; we will provide your teams with Vernier Generators to start the design process. Lunch is provided on the day of the Challenge. At CSU Energy Institute\, we believe that cost should not keep you from participating. If cost is a barrier\, please let us know how we can get your team to the challenge. \nAny student in the 9th-12th grade can participate. There is no restriction on team size\, but 3 to 5 students per team is recommended. Teams can come from public schools\, home schools\, after-school clubs or any group of kids interested in wind energy. \nAre you worried that wind engineering is not your specialty? We are working on connecting schools with some of our CSU scientists and engineers to help coaches with the technical aspects of the competition! \nBased upon registration numbers\, schools with more than five teams might be asked to reduce the number of teams they bring- OR better yet we can help run a regional qualifier event at your school!
