KidWind
Description
KidWind is an educational resource provider that supplies hands-on kits, curriculum materials, and teacher training focused on renewable energy topics including wind, solar, and hydropower for use in primary and secondary classrooms.
The organisation produces a range of physical learning kits designed to teach students about renewable energy principles through practical experimentation. Products include wind turbine construction kits, solar panel sets, hydropower components, and accessories such as blade design materials, multimeters, and gear configurations.
These materials are intended for use in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) lessons, allowing pupils to build working models and measure energy output. The kits are accompanied by lesson plans, activity guides, and instructional videos that align with science curriculum standards.
Alongside its product catalogue, KidWind operates the KidWind Challenge, a competition in which student teams design and build small-scale wind turbines that are tested for energy generation and judged on engineering documentation and instructional knowledge. The organisation also runs professional development workshops for teachers, covering topics such as renewable energy science, classroom integration of energy concepts, and the use of KidWind equipment.
Resources are aimed at educators in primary schools, secondary schools, and informal learning environments such as museums and after-school programmes, with materials available for purchase through an online store.
