WindWise Education

WindWise Education is a wind energy curriculum and teacher training program for grades 6-12. Pandion and KidWind have partnered to create this one of a kind wind energy program, which is funded in part by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.

The 16 interactive lessons in the WindWise Education curriculum are based on unbiased scientific data, case studies, and real life scenarios. WindWise teaches core subjects by allowing students to explore key questions, such as Where is it windy? Which blades are best? What is wind's risk to birds?

WindWise is available to teachers nationwide. You can sponsor WindWise Education and take a sneak peak at the curriculum.
