LCDS Fifth Graders Take on the World at KidWind in Madison, Wisconsin!

LCDS fifth-grade students recently brought their creativity, teamwork, and engineering skills to the KidWind Challenge in Madison, a major hub for renewable energy education and home to the World KidWind Challenge hosted by the University of Wisconsin–Madison!
As part of a wind energy unit in Library and STEM, students learned how wind turbines work before designing and building their own turbine blades. They experimented with different materials, shapes, and numbers of blades, testing and redesigning their turbines multiple times to generate the highest energy output possible.

After weeks of innovation, problem-solving, and teamwork, the top teams earned invitations to compete at KidWind Worlds. This year, LCDS proudly sent two outstanding teams: The Wicked Turbines, Isabella Ramadan and Melis Karaman, and The Turbine Tacos, Nahla Newport and Molly Mello.

We are so proud of our students for bringing their energy, creativity, and determination to this exciting competition and representing LCDS in Madison, Wisconsin!
