The KidWind Challenge in Asia Training Camp, co-hosted by our association and group member Stark Lab, successfully concluded in Tainan on August 29. This five-day intensive course (August 25–29) was led by our supervisor, Teacher Wu Ming-de, guiding 7 student teams (28 participants) in constructing wind power devices, fostering renewable energy engineering skills for the upcoming KidWind Challenge.

Mr. Wu designed a hands-on curriculum, starting with assembling small-scale wind power models, followed by crafting turbine blades using specialized jigs and cutting sheet to achieve aviation-model quality. Gearbox assembly tested students’ precision, requiring meticulous adjustments of screws and gears, highlighting engineering rigor. Mr. Wu emphasized the importance of precision, using the “0.99 multiplied repeatedly” analogy to illustrate the cumulative impact of minor errors.

On the final day, a standard wind tunnel test simulated competition conditions, allowing students to refine their designs and gain valuable feedback. This training laid a technical foundation and instilled the engineering principles of “rigor, iteration, and precision.” The results will be showcased at the KidWind Challenge in Asa South Region on October 4, and we look forward to the students’ outstanding performance.
