Five teams of Martinsville City School students competed this week in the regional KidWind competition, a program that encourages students to explore the science and technology of clean energy as they design, build, and test their own wind turbines and solar structures.
The Patrick Henry Elementary School Solar Panthers took home first place in the Solar Challenge.
The Albert Harris Elementary School Solar Sailors came in second.
City school teams claimed all three top spots in the Wind Challenge. The Taco Turbines and Breeze Blasters from Patrick Henry Elementary School took home first and second place, respectively, while the Albert Harris Elementary School Wind Rangers earned third place.
