Bring Kidwind to Your Community!
KidWind has facilitated over 1,200 in-person workshops over the last 21 years. Our data shows that 85% of teachers who attend a KidWind workshop try out these new materials in their classrooms. These trainings broaden educators’ knowledge of STEM topics and clean energy, explore project-based pedagogies, and provide details about participating in the KidWind Challenge. In addition, we provide clean energy classroom materials and kits at these trainings. We offer all day, half day, multiday, and year-long cohort model workshops depending on the goals, budget, and time constraints of the group.
Understanding Energy Basics & the Power Grid
This workshop explores the foundations of energy and the power grid, including basic electric concepts and circuitry, electricity generation, transmission and distribution, and shares ready-to-use classroom activities.
We suggest all educators start with this foundational workshop.
Wind Power Fundamentals
This workshop explores the foundations of wind power, including the science and technology of wind turbines and blade design, and shares ready-to-use classroom activities.
Solar Power Fundamentals
This workshop explores the foundations of solar power, including the science and technology of solar panels and thermal energy, and shares ready-to-use classroom activities.
Hydropower Fundamentals
This workshop explores the foundations of hydropower, including the science and technology of the water cycle, hydroelectric dams, offshore wind, and wave energy, and shares ready-to-use classroom activities.
Workshop Models
All models can be adapted for larger groups of educators.
