KidWind's new effort to teach about clean energy includes science kits and comics

Michael Arquin and the folks at KidWind are innovating again with the hopeful launch of KidWind and Friends: Clean Energy Science Kits and Comics. The KidWind and Friends campaign aims to launch a series of renewable energy science kits and a cast of exciting comic book characters. A brainchild of the KidWind Project, KidWind and Friends will extend the KidWind Project’s vision to engage minds for a responsible future into the retail market.

They need your help: They’re currently working to raise $75,000 to release these cool products, and to let KidWind and his friends teach the world about better, cleaner sources of energy! Watch the video below to learn more, and head to their Kickstarter page to support the project!

Who is KidWind (and who are his friends)?

KidWind and Friends exploration science kits will allow students to begin exploring renewable energy—and a variety of energy concepts—in an engaging format. Kids and adults will be able to mix and match the items between the kits, and they will offer many of the parts separately so you can add on or build your own devices. You want a complete kit? You got it. You want parts that interchange? You got it.

The initial product line consists of:

  1. Three full renewable energy exploration kits
  2. A set of swappable parts and recharge kits
  3. A cast of comic book characters titled KidWind and Friends to help support the kits and concepts.
