As part of the "15 years of zdi.Paderborn and coolMINT.Paderborn" anniversary celebrations, the European University Alliance COLOURS, coordinated by Paderborn University, is inviting pupils from year 6 upwards to take part in an exciting workshop on the topic of wind energy.
The participants first build a functional miniature wind turbine, analyse the energy conversion and calculate the efficiency of their experimental setup. They then design and manufacture their own optimised rotor before the most efficient design is chosen in the final competition.
The workshop puts the challenge-based learning concept of the COLOURS alliance into practice and shows how scientific thinking, creativity and teamwork can lead to innovative solutions.
Admission is free.
