Description:
Sustainable Blacksburg presents the KidWind Practice Challenge & Local Clean Energy Experts Expo as part of the 2017 Blacksburg Sustainability Week on Saturday, September 23, 2017 at the YMCA at Virginia Tech's large event room in Blacksburg, VA.

We are excited to partner with the JMU Center for Wind Energy to bring you this exciting event! If wind turns your crank, we invite you to come explore wind energy in our wind tunnel. We will provide all the materials needed to explore, build, and test a wind turbine in preparation for the Southwestern Regional KidWind Challenge on March 5, 2018 in Roanoke.

In addition to wind energy, local experts in other clean energy technologies (solar, energy efficiency, and biodigestion of food waste to create fuel) will also be on hand, so all you clean energy enthusiasts, this is the event for you!

The practice challenge is open to grades 4 – 12 and the Local Clean Energy Experts Expo is open to all ages.

Note: Elementary age children must be accompanied by an adult.

This is an open house format event so you can drop in anytime.
