The setup and open testing time to fix problems associated with transport. The checkin was great, the venue was fantastic. The conference was a amazing. My students had an opportunity to see global energy products

- Cinda (KidWind team coach)

I never thought I would see my son and his friends competing at a renewable energy conference, but I did, AND IT WAS AWESOME!!! I was just lucky to be there to watch and see our MHS team problem-solve and work through adversity. At the end of the competition, our team scored a perfect score on their analytics portion and earned an award. Great job Mr. Heath and KidWind Team!

- KidWind Parent

Our students absolutely loved the world’s competition. Their stories and experiences have inspired others in our school to be excited about clean energy. We now have elementary and middle school students who are planning to make wind turbines for next year. ... The KidWind competitions have provided opportunities for our students to learn about jobs in the clean energy field that they would not have been exposed to without this competition.

- Hope (KidWind Team Coach)

If you want to get energized about wind technology, enjoy creating, learn about new energy sensors, and leave with a ton of new knowledge then this workshop [REcharge Academy] is a must for you!

- Student Educator

The way this training [2020 Virtual REcharge Academy] was organized had the ideal amount of direct instruction, breaks and hands-on interactions.

- Student Educator

This training [REcharge Academy] was extremely well organized and helped me to better understand how to bring hands on activities to my students!

- Student Educator

I went from being just an energy consumer to becoming a person who understands how energy can effectively be produced and optimally used.

- Rebecca (Middle School Science and Coding Teacher)

REcharge a great opportunity to learn about energy generation and transmission as well as how to apply that knowledge in the classroom with engaging materials and lessons.

- Andy (Professional Development Specialist)

One of the most impactful trainings in renewable energy that I have ever attended.

- Karla (Climate and Energy Education Specialist)

This experience is completely unique in our district. Last year was the first time a team from Lincoln County School District participated beyond our local competition. This year was the first time a team from Eddyville had ever participated and they went all the way! It’s so important for schools to celebrate the academic accomplishments and encourage outside the classroom thinking and this did it!

- Student Educator

Teachers work hard to create memorable moments for students, but we must also make time for our own experiences, and ReCharge Academy provided a great opportunity for learning and inspiration to make a difference in the classroom.

- Mindy (Middle School Science Teacher)
[The KidWind curriculum is] Hands on! kids love it, easily fits into new standards

- Pat (Educator)

This training provides the necessary knowledge and skills to be able to teach the concepts to students and others.

- Rachelle (STEM education specialist)

The REcharge Academy prepares teachers to explore and teach about wind, solar, geothermal, and non-renewable energy in a way that is highly engaging and can be applied back home in the k-12 classroom.

- Andrea (Middle School Integrated Science Teacher)

KidWind's REcharge academy is an excellent way to develop renewable energy skills and knowledge as a teacher so that these can be passed on to students in fun and exciting ways.

- Daloy (Middle School Integrated Science Teacher)

An extremely engaging, relevant and fast paced program that will build your skill set in energy content yet leave you wanting more!

- Nancy (High School Science Teacher)

This was a fabulous learning experience. It has renewed my passion for teaching, which had dwindled this year. Thank-you so much for making me part of the REcharge Family!

- Andrea (Middle School Integrated Science Teacher)

The best professional development I’ve ever attended, a mix of field trips, lectures, hands-on learning and connections to help my future students.

- Emily (High school AP Science Teacher)
