My Project

We already have 2 stands for the turbines.

We need additional equipment for groups of 2 students in a class of 36 can each design their own blades for the fan.

We will use this equipment to ensure they can work as an individual team. This is part of a whole energy unit, they learn about nuclear energy, solar, and natural gas. We are hoping this will help students understand the issues with all other possible sources and thus will help them become interested in environmental science or at least help to save our planet.
