Do you want to design, build, and test two different wind turbine models? How about experimenting with cool-sounding variables like “blade pitch angels” and “rotor speed”?
4-H is challenging young people to enhance their science, engineering, technology, and math skills; while learning about renewable energy and wind power.
Developed by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension program, this year’s national science experiment is a three-tiered project called
Wired for Wind.
To get started, download helpful guides from the
official site that contain all the comprehensive information you need about the experiment. The kits containing generators, hubs, and more to help you complete the experiment are available for pre-order now!
