Learners will construct a functioning wind turbine and explore how kinetic energy from wind is converted into electrical energy. Through experimentation, students investigate variables such as blade design, angle, and wind speed to optimise power output. The activity fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and data analysis skills while building foundational knowledge in sustainability and clean energy technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"stem-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eDesigned for students in Years 5–9 (ages 10–15) studying Science, Design and Technologies, and STEM.
