Regional KidWind Challenges are hands-on design competitions that engage students in STEM through the lens of clean energy.
Student teams design and construct small wind turbines that they test in a wind tunnel and solar homes that they test under a light array, as well as present their design process to a panel of judges to present and demonstrate their contextual knowledge of clean energy.
