KidWind National Championship
Donation protected
We won! Our wind turbine that we struggled with for the past three months won the Maine KidWind Challenge! Winslow Junior High was among the schools from across Maine that gathered to test their windmills in the gym at the University of Southern Maine, and our design succeeded!
KidWind Challenge judges turbines on the electricty produced (yes they actually work!), innovation of design, documentation of the design process, and team knowledge of the wind industry.
And our team: RossMicah, has been invited to the American Wind Energy Association 's national conference in New Orleans on May 23 and 24th, 2016 to compete against the winners from other states. How exciting is that. The national convention! I can only imagine the technologies we will see there.
We will use the money to attend the competition (airfare, hotel rooms, and food ) and to ship our windmill to New Orleans. We will be going with one of our teachers. This really is a chance in a life time for us. Well at least until we able to hold down jobs. And even then, how many professionals get to attend a national conference?
Your generosity means that we will be able to travel down to New Orleans, with our teacher, on May 22 2016, and spend the next two days setting up and testing our wind turbine, talking with other schools who are also competing, and meeting professionals in the wind generation business. We'll have open access to the convention floor to explore all of the excitement of this burgeoning industry. To make this all possible, we need to raise the money by the beginning of May 2016.
