Dec. 10 In-Person Workshop
The PA KidWind Challenge will host an in-person workshop on the program on December 10 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in State College.
Have you wanted to participate in KidWind? Or need a refresher of the fundamentals of the KidWind Challenge?
In this workshop you will engage in activities that will introduce you to the science behind wind energy while putting easy-to- use tools in your hands to prepare students to compete in the KidWind Challenge.
Activities include designing turbine blades, building a wind turbine, testing the power output, and refining the turbine design to generate the most power.
These investigations are powerful vehicles to expose students to “difficult-to-hold-onto” concepts like energy conversion and transfer, electricity generation, and our energy future.
You will leave this workshop with a Vernier KidWind Basic kit and the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to introduce students to wind energy concepts.
For more information on this program, visit the Pennsylvania KidWind Challenge webpage. Questions should be directed to Amber Cesare, STEM Education Outreach Specialist, ams5306@psu.edu and 814-867-1323.
