Wind Energy

Date:
Time:
10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Online
Wind energy is growing worldwide and wind turbines are big producers in the great plains. 72% of our electricity came from wind on April 2, 2020 a new record for the region. This virtual field trip will explore wind turbine design as it relates to the physics of wind. You may never look at a wind turbine the same again. I put a go pro on my hard hat and climbing a wind turbine just to show you what’s inside. I will give you some examples of how to build your own mini wind turbine at home.

Join Nebraska 4-H as we go on-site to learn more about science, agriculture, technology, and more! Virtual Field Trips offer facility tours, educational experiences, and additional resources for teachers. Virtual Field Trips are perfect for youth in 9th-12th grades. Registration links will be made available one week in advance. Each session will be recorded and made available for on-demand viewing. Youth do not need to be 4-H members to participate.
