On the installation day, Wind for Schools state facilitator Karin Wadsack and Northern Arizona University student employee Marilla Lamb taught science classes at the school. They worked with the middle school students to assemble and test KidWind Project wind turbine kits and taught the high school science classes about wind/wildlife interactions, utility-scale wind turbine environmental monitoring, and the cost-benefit economics of distributed wind installations like the one at the school.

There are over 120,000 public and private K-12 schools in the country. we need to increase the funding for this program from 2 schools a month to 1000 a month to equip each school with this technology and learning opportunity within 10 years. And this does not include any of the colleges and universities, all of which should have similar programs and degree paths.
