The KidWind Fellows Cohort is a group of KidWind alumni in college who virtually support students preparing for KidWind Challenges. The Fellows Program is a unique opportunity for graduated KidWinders to continue their KidWind experience and share their expertise with younger students.

Our next Fellow spotlight is on Eddie! Eddie participated in KidWind the last two years (2025 and 2026) and left the KidWind Worlds Challenge with “Wind Champion” title last year! As a student participating in KidWind, he has helped with 3D modeling of hubs, airfoils, and gears. He also has experience in experimental testing and adapting turbines for different wind tunnels.

This is Eddie's first year serving as a KidWind Fellow. Welcome, Eddie!

ICYMI: Our Executive Director, Remy Pangle, recently attended the WRISE Leadership Forum in Chicago! She also visited the Invenergy office in Chicago to discuss the KidWind mission and how KidWind could help Invenergy with some of their community projects. Thanks, Remy for spreading the KidWind word!

We are so lucky to have great team members and strong partnerships with cool companies like Invenergy! ⚡

Join us from 11AM-2PM EDT on October 17th for our Wind Energy 101 workshop. During this virtual workshop, educators will learn the foundations of wind power including the science and technology of wind turbines and blade design.

Each workshop costs $225 and includes $200 in materials. 6-12th grade STEM teachers can use the code VWKS101 to bring the workshop cost down to only $25!

Welcome back to part 3 of our Tinker Talk series. Let's talk about turbine testing!

As always, check back in over the next couple of days as we continue to release the rest of our Tinker Talks!

Welcome back to Part 2 of our Tinker Talk series! Thanks to Javi, we’ve already learned a bit about how to participate in the in person and online wind challenges, but in these next two videos, Javi walks us through the in person and online SOLAR challenges!

In these videos you can learn more about our solar home division and how to participate. Whether you join us online or in-person, we can’t wait to see what you create!

As always, check back in over the next couple of days as we continue to release the rest of our Tinker Talks!

Welcome to our next Tinker Talk from our fellow, Javi!

This video covers how you can join a KidWind Challenge online, rather than joining in person! This is a great option for students who are limited by travel but who are still curious about building and testing their own turbines.

Check back in over the next couple of days as we continue to release the rest of our Tinker Talks!

09/18/2026

Introducing the KidWind Fellows’ new Tinker Talk series! Follow along as they dive into technical KidWind Challenge topics like blade design, gearboxes, solar fundamentals, and more that are super helpful for students of all experience levels participating in in-person and online Challenges.

Our first video is by Javi, who walks us through what an in-person KidWind Challenge looks like and how you can participate by building your own model turbine.

Check back in over the next couple of days as we continue to release the rest of our Tinker Talks!
