From KidWind:
In partnership with Flinn Scientific’s WhiteBox Learning, we are excited to announce a special KidWind Challenge for the remaining months of this super crazy school year. A totally virtual KidWind Challenge! Sure we think hands on is the best -- but when you that gets challenging you just have to find another way...
Using the KidWind 2.0 Wind Turbine Simulator students will construct and test turbines and wind farms in a totally online environment. The only requirement is an internet-connected computer (tablets are not supported).
This challenge is open to students all over the globe! There are three divisions (4-5, 6-8, 9-12). Students can participate alone or on a team. Teams will be free to use the simulator till June 30th.
On May 8th the KidWind Simulation Challenge will close and the top 10 teams will be awarded over $2000 in prizes. Top performers will also be invited to the virtual 2021 National KidWind Challenge which will happen in early June.
Registration for the KidWind Simulation Challenge is $25 per coach, with each coach able to register up to 5 students (they can participate as a team or individuals). Scholarships are available - depends on location and need.
To learn more about the Simulation Challenge join our webinar on March 18th at 5PM. This is all a big experiment so join us on this journey!
