Wind Harnessers

What makes the best wind turbine?​

Air—invisible to the human eye and seemingly lightweight—often gives us the impression of nothingness. However, anyone who has experienced a tornado, or even a strong windstorm, knows that air is anything but “nothing.” Join Marguerite as she talks about capturing wind to help power our daily activities. 
​
Using the overarching phenomenon of wind turbine design, students will explore the connections between motion, energy generation and transfer, the land around us, and engineering as they ask themselves:

"Can you capture the wind?"
