On April 10th, a team of students from Mineola Middle School competed in the 2nd Annual Kid Wind Challenge at the Cradle of Aviation. Middle school and high school students from all over Nassau and Suffolk counties designed, constructed and tested a wind turbine with the goal of generating the most electrical power in 60 seconds. Team Mineola, which was comprised of Ryan Duffy, Ryan DeMagistris and Jorge Mejia-Manzano had won 1st place two years in a row. The team of students worked closely with Mineola Middle School’s educators, Steve Parke (Technology Advisor), Harry McLaughlin (Physics Advisor) and Vince Interrante (Math and Science Advisor) in the design and construction of their winning turbine. The event, with over one hundred participants, was sponsored by National Grid.
