Workshops
At KidWind, we know that bringing clean energy in the classroom starts with teachers! For the past 20 years, our workshops have helped grow educators’ knowledge about clean energy while also getting quality materials into their hands. Our hands-on workshops introduce educators to the fundamentals of clean energy, project-based and inquiry-led pedagogies, and provide details about participating in the KidWind Challenge.
