KidWind State Finals to be held in Salina tomorrow
*
*TOPEKA* – Thirty-five teams from 29 Kansas schools will travel to Salina on Saturday with their sights set on winning a state title in the Kansas KidWind Challenge and an opportunity to advance to the World KidWind Challenge in Phoenix, AZ. Each team qualified for the state finals based on their performance in a series of regional challenges held earlier this year.
The KidWind state finals will be held at the Tony’s Pizza Event Center (800 The Midway) in Salina beginning at 8 a.m. Teams compete by age groups: 4th-5th grade, 6th-8th grade and 9th-12th grade. The event is open to the public and free to attend.
To prepare for the KidWind competition, team members work together to design, build and test a wind turbine using the materials of their choice. Each team’s turbine will be put to the test in a 48" × 48" wind tunnel at a wind speed of approximately 3.0 meters/second (6.7 miles/hour). Scoring is based on turbine performance and efficiency, a knowledge quiz, an instant challenge, and a presentation to judges where the team explains its design process.
Teams participating in Saturday’s state finals are listed in the link below.
