Education - Educational outreach - educate the public and consumer on distributed wind energy. DWEA has maintained its website and developed other products to accomplish education goals. DWEA exhibited at several farm shows to educate the public on the benefits of distributed wind. Finally, DWEA held an event in Washington DC to provide educational content to its members and other interested participants.
Wind for Schools - In conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, DWEA is creating a sustainable program for the Wind for Schools (WfS) program to address the need to educate the next generation of wind workers. Twelve university-based Wind Application Centers are established to engage college students by having them conduct classroom studies, field assessments, and installations of small wind turbines at rural schools. Additionally, these centers engage in teacher training, collaborated with KidWind challenges, and evaluated data from the installed turbines. To date, more than 350 turbines (more than 40% of which are directly attributable to the WfS program) have been installed at schools.
