The Power of the Wind: Youth Guide

Are you looking for something to spark engineering and science interest among middle
school kids? The activities in The Power of the Wind curriculum involve young people in the
engineering design process as they learn about the wind and its uses. Youth work with
members of a team to design, create, build, and test a wind powered device.

The device must solve a problem and requires the designers to balance options and
constraints. Participants are guided to make adjustments and retest until the vehicle or
machine solves the original problem.
