This project is fully funded
My Project
Students will be building a wind turbine to fit in a 4' x 4' x 4' wind tunnel. The turbine must be 100% constructed by the students. Students will compete with this turbine for a chance to attend the National Competition in Boulder, CO this May!!
Students need specialized materials to build these wind turbines and have a high power output.
In addition to power output students will record the engineering design process in written documentation, present their process to a panel of judges, complete an energy quiz, and an instant engineering challenge!!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
