Wind Turbine
Harness the renewable power of the wind by building and coding a simulated wind turbine with a battery storage system displayed on the LEDs.
Big Idea
Explore the exciting world of renewable energy with this course! You will learn about wind power, one of the fastest-growing sources of electricity in the world. You’ll discover how energy generated from wind turbines is delivered to our homes through the electrical grid, as well as how energy is stored in battery systems for when we need it during on-peak power cycles.
Take Action!
This hands-on project will allow you to demonstrate your technical and creative skills. Not only will you have fun, but you will also learn how to use technology and apply science and engineering concepts to design, build and code a simulated wind turbine. This project is a great opportunity to explore sustainable energy and make a positive impact on the world.
