Empowering Wisconsin: Navigating Community-led Energy Transitions
Communities large and small across Wisconsin are taking steps to transition to a clean energy economy, and thanks to recent federal legislation, there are more resources than ever to assist in that transition. However, community-driven efforts to achieve local clean energy goals require engaging a complex network of stakeholders while navigating a variety of laws, rules, and regulations at multiple levels.
2024 Wisconsin KidWind Challenge - Saturday, March 2
The KidWind Challenge is a hands-on wind turbine design competition that engages 4-12th grade students in STEM. Student teams bring small-scale wind turbines that they've designed to the Challenge where they will be tested in a wind tunnel. Teams meet with a panel of expert judges to present their design process and demonstrate their contextual knowledge of wind energy and tackle instant challenge activities.
