OffshoreWind4Kids Details
The primary goal of OffshoreWind4Kids is to teach kids about engineering, technology and renewable energy. We use a hands on approach where children can play with small scale offshore wind turbines, illustrating various aspects of offshore wind energy. We want to support women in engineering by encouraging girls to use the wind turbine kits and we aim to teach as many girls as boys about offshore wind. Secondary goals are to stimulate innovation and to spread awareness of offshore wind to the general public.To reach as many children as possible, OffshoreWind4Kids plans to use local hubs. Part of the funding for OffshoreWind4Kids goes into setting up these hubs and buying the required material for organising school events or demo days. Local schools can rent the material from these hubs and hire an instructor if necessary. Our current plan is that universities would serve as hubs for the project and PhD students with relevant expertise can serve as instructors.Instructors can also organise demo days in their respective countries to reach a broader audience and to spread awareness for offshore wind. These demo days can be organised as stand alone events or as part of larger events with many activities.To stimulate innovation in offshore wind, OffshoreWind4Kids is launching a floating wind university challenge. Universities from across the world can compete in this challenge and the concepts from different groups will be evaluated by an independent panel at the end of the academic year.We hope to see you at one of our upcoming events!
