It was a hive of activity for year 7 this week at the Wind Turbine Challenge Workshop
The aim of the challenge was to construct a wind turbine to produce the greatest amount of electricity.
The girls produced a gearing system, designed and constructed turbine blades to maximise output and created a tower to carry the turbine.
Topics covered included – circuits and electricity, forces, renewable energy, structures.
The day finished with all 11 groups presenting their finished designs and showing their wind turbines in action!
Well done girls – a very impressive set of wind turbines – Notre Dame certainly has a number of future engineers!
To see the girls in action please do watch the Instagram Reel.
