As a follow-up to the 2011 4-H National Science Experiment article in the last Keeping Up, here is a map of participating states and experiment locations from across the country (http://go.unl.edu/ia5). This experiment was written by F. John Hay and Brad Barker. The experiment titled Wired for Wind teaches youth about engineering design, experimental design, physics, and renewable energy. Youth designed, built, and tested wind turbine blades. In Nebraska, the experiment was done in more than 40 locations teaching over 1,500 youth. Thanks again to John and Brad for their work on this project!
