SUMMARY:KidWind NorCal Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The KidWind NorCal Challenge is a hands-on wind turbine design competition that engages 6-12th grade students in STEM on the California Polytechnic State University\, San Luis Obispo Maritime Academy (Cal Poly Maritime) campus. Student teams will bring small-scale wind turbines that they’ve designed to the Challenge where they will be tested in a wind tunnel. Teams will also meet with a panel of Cal Poly Maritime student judges to present their design process and demonstrate their contextual knowledge of wind energy. Prizes will be awarded. Top performing teams in each age division will have the opportunity to compete in the World KidWind Challenge in Madison\, WI in May 2026. \nRegistration closes January 26\, 2026. \n
