About Wind4Kids
Wind4Kids is a global educational program for schools. The program educates kids about the fundamentals of wind energy. We offer school workshops, teacher trainings and gear. All kids learn using the new Wind4Kids turbine with our measurement equipment! π¨β‘οΈ
The fundamentals
In our educational program we cover the following classroom experiments π§ͺ
π¨
Wind energy
Calculate the available wind power for the classroom wind turbine
β‘οΈ
Electrical power
Measure the electrical power output of the wind turbine
π
Solidity
Test blade designs and calculate the solidity of the wind turbine
π
Turbine efficiency
Vary the pitch angle and calculate the efficiency of the wind turbine
π
Power curves
Learn everything about the power curve and generate one yourself
School workshops
Depending on the number of experiments, classroom sessions take 50min to 2h, during which we do the following:
β
-
Introduction to wind energy
-
Build turbine in groups of 4
-
Indoor experiments using a big ventilator
-
Optional: go to the school playground and test it outside
β
A regular session is run with 20-25 kids for kids ages 8 to 15. Check out our practical details presentation for more information. To book a school workshop, book a meeting with us π
“I really liked the wind turbine workshop at my school. I learned how to calculate the energy output of the wind. And the fact that we could also go outside with the turbines to do experiments was even more fun!”
