The Matthew R. Simmons Windstorm Challenge, hosted at the Harold Alfond W2 Ocean Engineering Laboratory by the University of Maine, asks teams of students to design and construct a floating platform for a scale model wind turbine, and then deliver a presentation to a panel of expert judges. The event is designed for student teams with a diverse range of experiences.
This year we are excited to host our largest Windstorm Challenge yet with over 600 Maine students attending from all over the state!
