Wind4Kids | School workshops

Depending on the number of experiments, classroom sessions take 50min to 2h, during which we do the following:

A regular session is run with 20-25 kids for kids ages 8 to 15. To book a school workshop, book a meeting with us 😊

In our educational program we cover the following classroom experiments 🧪

Calculate the available wind power for the classroom wind turbine

Measure the electrical power output of the wind turbine

Test blade designs and calculate the solidity of the wind turbine

Vary the pitch angle and calculate the efficiency of the wind turbine

Learn everything about the power curve and generate one yourself

How many engineers teach kids in one session?

Usually we organise classroom sessions with 20-25 kids. During one session the ideal amount of engineers teaching the kids is 2-3 engineers. In case there are 25 kids attending the workshop, the kids get divided into 5 groups of 5 kids. Each group will receive 1 Wind4Kids wind turbine with measurement equipment.
Can our employees organise a school workshop?

Yes. There are two options: 1) We ship the Wind4Kids wind turbines with measurement equipment to your company and we give you remote support for the Wind Curriculum resources. 2) We organise a first school workshop together with one of the Wind4Kids employees traveling to the school and you buy the Wind4Kids wind turbines for later sessions.
How many sessions can be organised during 1 day?

We try to fit as many workshops in a school day in discussion with the school. If we organise 2h sessions, we can normally have up to 3 sessions in a day. If it's 90minutes, we can have 4 sessions. In shorter 1-hour sessions, we can teach up to 7 of the classroom sessions in a day. Per session we teach max. 25 kids.
What are the practicalities needed to organise the session?
