Interactive Wind Generation Model Inspires Budding Engineers

ACEP researchers hosted a table at Pearl Creek Elementary School’s annual Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Night on Feb. 1.

The activity titled “Wind Power! Build a Wind Turbine and Get Power From the Wind” attracted well over 400 elementary school students and family members.

Around 30 activities were offered by Ƶ departments, state and federal agencies, and private companies.
