Darlington Middle School students Alyza Johnson and Ashley Wick said the 49 wind turbines dotting the land around their community piqued their interest in a contest where they could construct and test their own smaller versions of the machines.
“I kind of wondered what they did and why they were there,” said Alyza, a seventh-grader.
The students’ enthusiasm and hard work were rewarded as their team took first place in Saturday’s Wisconsin KidWind Challenge — a hands-on student wind turbine design competition for fourth- through twelfth-graders. The competition took place at the Wisconsin Energy Institute, which organized the event, sponsored by Alliant Energy, EDP Renewables North America and Madison Gas & Electric.
