Kidwind Challenge:

 

The Kidwind Challenge was designed to allow students to design windmills to produce electricity.  The school must bring in a completed turbine for each team that they enter.  This year there will be two divisions, middle school and high school.

 

Turbines:

 

  1. Free standing
  2. Vertical or horizontal shafts
  3. Fit into a 48 x 48 wind tunnel
  4. Must use a competition generator provided by Kidwind
  5. Turbines can have any number of blades.  The hub that Kidwind provides will hold 12.
  6. No metal blades

 

Teams- Any size, recommended 2-3

Teams must be registered at SUNYIT and at www.KIDWIND.org

Registrations close February 15th.  Sooner they are registered at Kidwind the faster you will receive free materials to build with.
