The KidWind Challenge, which officially kicked off in 2009, is an annual event that allows students to explore the power of wind by building and testing wind turbines and then competing against other teams in their age division (4th-8th or 9th-12th). Check out the flyer for the event and watch our 3-minute overview video to see what the competition is like.
The top two winners in each age division from each regional challenge move on to compete in the statewide competition. Winning teams at the statewide KidWind Challenge are invited to the National KidWind Challenge. For 2023, we are planning six regional challenges in Kansas and several workshops and educational opportunities.
Sign up for one of our upcoming events and check out the additional resources we've put together. If you have any questions or want to talk more about this, please reach out to us at ksenergyprog@ksu.edu.
