Generation Green
FREE IN-SCHOOL WORKSHOP

Funded by SEFE this Wind Turbine workshop is available for FREE to year 5 and 6 students within Greater Manchester and Buckinghamshire schools. Apply using the form below 👇

Young people learn about electricity and energy, looking at how it’s generated using wind turbines, as well as challenged to design the perfect blades to generate electricity using a wind turbine.

The wind turbine challenge develops students’ teamwork and creativity skills through the design and construction of their blades for a miniature wind turbine. Students then test their wind turbines efficiency using a fan and visual voltmeter to measure electricity output, and following the engineering design cycle of ‘design, test, improve’.
