Wright’s innovative teaching idea, “Wind Turbine Challenge,” is focused on culminating with a “Wind Summit,” an event where students from Valley School of Ligonier and surrounding schools will compete with wind turbines, learn together, and debate the future of wind power in the region and around the world. Students involved in this program will explore wind from all angles with a central focus on its ability to provide us with renewable energy. To keep the connection to the topic rich and meaningful, students will construct wind turbines, experiment with design modifications, explore the history of wind, learn the science of wind creation, and investigate how wind has been a component of human development and existence over time.
