Design a wind turbine with 3 blades of different materials and investigate which blade design, blade material and pitch angle will generate the most energy (measured in volts)
This online competition space is for attendees of KidWind Virtual Wind Workshops. If you enter your mini wind turbine into this competition you may win a FREE t-shirt!
Due to technical issues we’re extending submissions to the Online Challenge through midnight Pacific on Wednesday, April 2nd. Every category on this form provides a chance to earn points for the design. Be sure to read the form carefully to prepare before submitting. How Do I Participate? Complete the Simulation Challenge using WhiteBox Learning’s simulation software. Get some gear: If…
Using your knowledge of how wind energy works, your team needs to build a small turbine to produce as much power as possible! Think about the best construction techniques and the most innovative design to make it operate. Entries will be evaluated based on performance as well as creativity, quality, and demonstrated knowledge. Each team should have a coach to…

In this STEM Design Challenge, students are tasked with designing and constructing their own blades using any available or provided materials. To evaluate their creations, all students will use a fan or wind tunnel as a consistent power source, with everyone standing the same distance from it and using the fan set to the same setting. Throughout the challenge, students…
