In this unique program, students have had the chance
to design prototype wind turbine blades, bringing a hands-on,
real-world element to their learning experience. The excitement is
building as teams from Northwest, Central, and Washington-Monroe
prepare to showcase their creativity and talent at the Challenger
Learning Center on Heartland Community College's campus on February
14, 2024.
The KidWind Renewable Energy Challenge is not your typical
competition. Beyond designing and testing wind turbine blades,
students will engage in various challenges throughout the day,
highlighting their problem-solving skills and creativity. What makes
this event even more exceptional is the opportunity for
participating teams to tour the new Electric Vehicle Lab and take
part in a solar panel challenge in the college's state-of-the-art
lab space.
These additional activities go beyond the traditional scope of such
competitions, providing students with a comprehensive understanding
of renewable energy. Exposing them to the new technologies and
developments in the field fosters a curiosity that goes beyond the
classroom, preparing them for a future where sustainable energy
solutions are necessary.
