Take science and technology out of the abstract and into the real word with our unique & exciting hands-on educational activity! We bring all the necessary tools and materials and lead the workshop so it is easy to organise and host.

• We deliver fun, hands-on STEM experiences that use our unique modular WindyGen wind turbine to explore the science behind energy generation
• We run standalone or sequential sessions at your school which are suitable for age 14+ students
• The workshops include tests and experiments on the WindyGen that bring to life Energy, Electricity, Magnetism, and Aerodynamics
• The workshops can integrate with the science curriculum
• The workshops inspire students in the exciting and important field of renewable energy
• Great opportunities for cross-curricular learning
• Perfect as an enrichment or after school project

Experiments include changing variables and seeing how they affect the output. Variables that can be modified include:

• Pitch of blades
• Number of turns in coils
• Strength of magnets
• Load resistance

Feedback from our University project for Engineering students:

A professional and thoroughly interesting hands-on practical workshop. The team were flexible enough to tailor the course to the skills and abilities of the course participants. The course has been an inspiration and we have invited them to run another course next year.
Dr Justin Hinshelwood, Lecturer, MEng Energy Engineering, University of Exeter, UK

Their expertise and familiarity with the design and process of manufacture enabled us to achieve the project painlessly. I would highly recommend that all young engineers experience this activity.
