KWP-W104: KidWind Middle School Wind Turbine Team

Since 2018, Makersmiths has sponsored KidWind teams. What is KidWind? It is an initiative to teach youth about renewable energies as they go through an engineering process of designing, building and testing wind turbines or solar projects. PBS filmed our teams a year ago and we were featured on the This American Land TV series. Meet our teams by viewing: https://vimeo.com/995471444 

We are looking for youth in grades 6-8 to join our middle school wind turbine team. The Makersmiths KidWind wind turbine team will be coached by Makersmiths member, Timothy Pearson and his wife, Joanna. The team will meet from 1 PM- 3:30 PM on Saturday afternoons in Makersmiths' Purcellville lower classroom and will participate in the Northern VA Regional KidWind Challenge, an all-day event, at the Potomac Science Center in Woodbridge on March 17.

Parents must sign this waiver form and indicate the student's name and grade. To fill out the form online, go to: https://waiver.fr/p-NVPOj
