NOTE: During KidWind season (January through early April), schools participating in the KidWind Challenge are given priority and it is on a first-come, first-served basis. Make sure to submit your request to borrow a wind tunnel as soon as possible. Each coach will be able to check out a wind tunnel for 2 weeks.
