SUMMARY:NJ KidWind Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The New Jersey KidWind Challenge is an annual event that allows students to explore wind energy through a hands-on\, STEM competition.  This is a hands-on student challenge to design\, construct and test a small scale wind turbine.​ \nIn this competition\, teams will design and build their turbines before attending a regional KidWind Challenge. At the challenge\, teams will test their turbines for energy output in a wind tunnel\, present their turbine design and build process to a panel of judges\, and participate in a hands-on task.

SUMMARY:CSU Powerhouse Elementary/Middle School KidWind Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to harness the wind and unleash your inner engineer! Every year\, Colorado students dive into KidWind competitions at Colorado State University Energy Institute’s Powerhouse 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 am to 4:00 pm). 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 4th-12th grade can participate- there are three different age level divisions (though\, the high school competition is a separate event in January). There is no restriction on team size\, but three to five 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? Let us connect you 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!

SUMMARY:Invenergy KidWind Challenge Junior
DESCRIPTION:This event is is for Valley View School District in Illinois. Please reach out to Kristen at Kristen@KidWind.org with any questions. \nThe Invenergy KidWind Challenge Junior is an exciting\, hands-on challenge that offers a unique opportunity for students to explore renewable energy through wind power. Thank you to Invenergy for graciously hosting this event at their new Center of Excellence! \nWhat is a KidWind Challenge Junior? \nDuring the event\, students will team up to design and build wind turbine blades for pre-assembled towers. We will provide all necessary materials and have a wind tunnel on-site to test each team’s turbine designs. There is no preparation required beforehand—teachers and students simply show up ready to learn and have fun. \nThe KidWind Challenge Jr. is an excellent way for students and their teachers to build confidence\, ignite interest in clean energy\, and gain valuable\, hands-on STEM experience.

SUMMARY:Klamath Falls KidWind Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Solar Home Competition \nCreate a solar powered home. A solar home is a type of structure that considers the environment\, the inhabitants\, and its functional and aesthetic design. We encourage teams to think creatively and even fantastically about their solar homes. The environment can range from outer space to the arctic\, and the inhabitants can be anything from people to butterflies! Solar homes must be smaller than 2’ x 2’ with a maximum height of 1 foot. \nWind Turbine Competition \nStudent teams will design and construct a small wind turbine that they will test in a wind tunnel (4’ x 4’ x 4’). Teams will meet with a panel of judges to present their design process and demonstrate their knowledge of clean energy. Teams also engage in a variety of instant challenges to gauge their on-the-spot teamwork and problem-solving skills. KidWind generator must be used without modifications. \nRegistration closes March 22nd\, 2026.

SUMMARY:Northern Arizona Kidwind Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The KidWind Challenge is a hands-on wind turbine design competition that engages students in STEM and renewable energy. Student teams build small-scale wind turbines and bring them to the Challenge where they will be tested in a wind tunnel. Students will also present on their design process to a panel of local judges. Top performing teams will have the chance to compete at the World KidWind Challenge in May. \nWho can participate?\nAny group of students in grades 9 to 12 is eligible to enter a team. This includes students from public and private schools\, home schoolers\, after school clubs\, 4-H clubs\, etc. Every team needs a coach who is responsible for registering and managing the team. Teams of 2-6 students seem to work best\, although teams from 1-8 are welcome. \nSupport for getting to the challenge \nThis event is put on by Willow Bend\, an environmental education center in Flagstaff. If you have a class or group of students that is interested in coming to our event and need help getting started- reach out to us at info@willowbendcenter.org! We may be able to provide some materials or teach a class to get them started. \nRegistration \nPlease email info@willowbendcenter.org and we will work out the details!

SUMMARY:New Orleans KidWind Challenge
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \nThe winning team will earn the chance to compete at KidWind Worlds\, where they will represent our region against teams from over 60 cities nationwide.
