Overall a simply outstanding project which has ticked all of the boxes in terms of providing STEM students with an engaging activity with superb links to both Science and D&T. [ Full report ]
- We deliver fun, hands-on STEM experiences that use our unique modular WindyGen wind turbine to explore the science behind energy generation
- 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
In 2019 we collaborated with Teacher Scientist Network to develop the Wingygen turbine to be added to TSN’s STEM club offering.
