LEAP Lab: Wind Power!

Free and Open to All.

Registration recommended! You’ll be the first to learn of event details or if the location or date changes due to inclement weather.

If you’ve ever been blown around on a windy day, then you already know that the wind is powerful! How powerful? In this event, you will learn how to harness electricity from the wind. By constructing a miniature wind turbine that you can take home, you will explore the physics behind wind energy and measure the power output of your turbine in a wind tunnel. Get ready to pave a new path toward building clean electricity generation!

This program is designed with ages 8-13 in mind, but all young scientists are welcome to attend.

Presented in collaboration with the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at MIT.
