Help Us Learn to Harness the Wind's Energy!

Funded Jun 1, 2020

I wish that you could have seen the look on my students' faces when they opened their gift pack with the WindLift kits inside! Each and every student could not wait to start this fun project! It was challenging and educational, which is always a trait a teacher looks for in a task, but more importantly, it was fun beyond belief for the students!

The students picked up their kits from our school lobby and assembled them at home, as I showed both a video tutorial and live instruction. It was extremely difficult for the students, and we broke it down in to small steps that felt manageable. When they were finished, they felt a deep sense of accomplishment that is only possible when a seemingly impossible task is made possible.

After students created the windlift project, they were allowed to invent their own system of investigating the weights of different objects. Choice and experimentation are a critical component of all education, especially during this period of pandemic teaching. Thanks to your generous donation, students at PS 333 were able to continue constructing and investigating as they have always done.”
