2023 IWCS State KidWind and Solar Challenge Results

SHS KidWind Teams

Coaches: Heather Greer and Adam Shipman


The High School KidWind teams were scored on the electrical output in 30 seconds in the wind tunnel, their presentation and an instant challenge which involved constructing a level floating offshore wind turbine model on a budget.


Team AirBenders: Emma Forbes, Patrick Leslie, Katie Lutz, Liam Lutz, Jaylen Marble, Kyle Nester, Jackson Elliot


Team Goon Squad: Nick Evans, Lindsey Greer, Aiden Hall, Shelby Huffaker, Jacob Miller, Eli Robbins


For the first time in Virginia KidWind history, two teams tied for first place! Both teams had a perfect score in both the presentation and the instant challenge, giving them the edge over the second and third place Tabb High School teams. The teams took home the coveted Gold Turbine Blade trophy and $300. Both SHS teams are invited to compete in the National KidWind Competition in Boulder, CO May 14-17.
