In the pursuit of a sustainable future through ESGs, renewable energy plays a crucial role, and the KidWind Challenges (wind energy competitions) is a highly relevant educational program! Through this program, we enable students to delve into wind energy, thereby deepening their understanding of renewable energy.
The KidWind Challenges are not only fun and energetic but also integrate practical engineering skills with scientific principles, allowing students to apply learned knowledge to design and construction. It’s not just a competition but a platform for students to showcase their creativity in the real world!
Our goal is to increase students' awareness and understanding of renewable energy and climate change. Last year, over 260 schools and 3,000 students in the U.S. participated in regional and state KidWind challenge! In Taiwan, around 100 teams and 400 students have participated annually since 2019. Now, we are actively promoting the competition in the Asia-Pacific region, hoping to engage more students in this exciting educational program!
