Harnessing the Power of Wind: Father’s Day STEAM Challenge

Entering Grades 3 - 6 with a father or father figure

Entering Grades 3 - 6 with father or father figure. Work together to design and build your own wind-powered lifting device inspired by the book, "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" by William Kamkwamba.

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is the true story of a boy from Malawi who built a windmill to bring water and electricity to his village, just with the information from a library book.  Families are encouraged to read the story prior to the event.  Pick up a copy at the Parma-Powers Branch starting May 1st.  William's story is available as a book, a shortened version for younger readers and as an audiobook.  The documentary film, William and the Windmill, is available on Kanopy with your library card.

Space is limited and registration is required.
