Curriculum or Lesson Topics:

With easy-to-follow instructions, kids can build their very own wind turbine from scratch, learning about aerodynamics, mechanical engineering, and sustainable energy principles along the way. Watch as they design and assemble the turbine blades and tower, harnessing the power of the wind to generate electricity and power small devices.

Standard Alignments:

Lessons are aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), Common Core Math, and other relevant educational frameworks.

What’s Included:

Every kit includes all necessary materials, tools, and printed instructions. Many also include digital lesson plans, student worksheets, and teacher guides with STEM connections and extension ideas.

Special Notes and Considerations:

STEM Kits are built of durable materials such as Birch plywood and can be re-used.

We recommend using the Vornado 630 or a comparable fan that can produce 8-10mph simulated wind speeds for testing.  The fan should be placed 1-2 feet away from the Wind Turbine for testing.  Also, please ensure that the longer LED leg is connected to the positive wire and the shorter leg is connected to the negative wire from the generator motor.
