KidWind Training
• Wind Senator– Provide others teachers training and resources to
teach wind energy concepts in their own classrooms
• KidWind Challenge– Regional, statewide, national program in which
students design, build, and test their turbines to see who can generate the most energy under given constraints (total size, generator, materials, etc)
