Seven Makersmiths members coached seven KidWind teams this year. Students in grades 4-11 competed in three divisions, Elementary, Middle School and High School wind and solar divisions at the March 14 Winchester Regional KidWind Challenge at Shenandoah University. The Elementary Wind Team- Champion Charges, came in 1st place with their wind turbine. The Middle School Wind Team, Recreational Renewables, came in 1st place and the Middle School Wind turbine team, Vivacious Voltages, came in second place. The Middle School Solar Team, Home Defense Protection, came in first place with their solar project, and the team also won the Knowledge Award with a perfect score on their Kahoot quiz. The High School Solar Team, Terrasol, won first place, scored the highest on the high school knowledge quiz, and won the People’s Choice award. The High School Solar Team, Sub 4, won 3rd place. All the first through third place winning teams will now advance to the Virginia State KidWind Challenge on April 12 at James Madison University.
