Wind Force

Exploring wind and aerodynamics.

Hands-on experiences, using wind tunnels where students will test aerodynamic properties of different materials and structures. The workshop is designed to foster a deeper appreciation of natural forces, encouraging critical thinking and scientific curiosity.
