Kidwind Expo and Tunnel Testing- January 11th, 2025
10am-2pm (Tunnel Testing 9am-10am)
Festival Conference and Student Center, JMU
Join us at our free Kidwind Expo and Tunnel Testing on January 11th, 2025 10am-2pm at James Madison University Festival Conference and Student Center. Open Tunnel Testing will take place during check in (9am-10am).
Students will have the opportunity to learn new skills that can be applied to their solar or wind project such as airfoil design, microcontrollers, gears, solar tracking, generator building, and more.
Coaches can attend sessions on Whitebox Learning's Kidwind Simulator, Microcontrollers, and Cricut Design. Coaches will receive free lunch (limited to first 20) and earn professional development hours.
This is a fabulous opportunity for teams to learn how to take their project to the next level. If your students would be interested in sharing their project and presentation/experience with their peers, please email us!
Tunnel Testing Days
Tunnel testing days serve as a non-scored day for wind teams to get a chance to test their turbine in the full sized wind tunnel used in competition. Teams and coaches can arrive anytime during the event, and are not expected to stay the entire time. Teams are encouraged to bring supplies to modify their design as they collect data. Registration required.
