KidWind Offers Free Educator Wind Workshop


KidWind will be offering a free workshop to the first 30 teachers who register for their Educator Wind Workshop April 2 in St. Paul.

The workshop will cover many STEM based activities and lessons to help teachers understand the science behind one of the fastest growing energy sources in the world. It is open to ANY educators.

In this hands-on course, teachers will build and test classroom-scale windmills that lift weights and wind turbines that produce electricity. These wind turbines will be built using simple materials like PVC pipe, DC motors, balsa, and coroplast. Teachers can keep all the turbines they build.

All teachers will leave with some basic curricular materials and a basic turbine kit. About a $70 value!
