Wind Pump Activity 2.0

TeacherGeek is pumped about environmental engineering with this amazing STEM | STEAM wind turbine pump activity. This physical, interactive activity combines scientific concepts of work, fluid mechanics, simple machines and aerodynamics with an environmental engineering edge. Great for classrooms, clubs or your backyard, it's a true STEM | STEAM | Maker experience. Kids watch in awe as their wind-driven turbines power the geared transmission to operate a hydraulic pump, moving water from one level to another. Explore alternative energy methods through the engineering & design process, as blade materials, angle and pitch are adjusted and redesigned using recycling bin components or 3D printables. Utilized by countless schools, programs and Google for their annual Wind Challenge, the TeacherGeek Wind Pump is an engineering marvel - and undeniable value. A wind stand is necessary for this project - purchase separately or construct your own! At A Glance: With TeacherGeek, kids design
