To improve problem solving, critical thinking, and collaboration skills, kindergarten and fourth grade students will work together to complete a rigorous wind turbine project. Students will research turbine designs, record data, and create a movie to document their learning journey. As collaborative teams design turbines, they will meet with community engineers and Skype with students globally to share ideas and discuss turbine models. The project will culminate with students using 3-D printed parts, recycled items, and other materials to construct a turbine.
