The wind turbine team returned successful from San Antonio, bringing home several awards, according to team advisor Mrs. Biagioni: “Unstoppable Wind Meets Immovable Turbine (Nick Angell and Nathaniel Powers) won the “Spirit of KidWind Award”! They came in second in Quiz Bowl. Panda Blades was in the top 10 too. EWG came in second in the Collegiate Instant Challenge. Everyone did well in the Hydro and Solar Array Challenges, and the Interviews.”
