全台首座 KidWind 認證學校

2025-05-15

今年五月，葳格小學北屯校區正式成為臺灣第一所獲得「KidWind 認證」的學校！為了讓學生能在最優質的環境中探索風力能源，學校設立了全臺唯一的小學「風力實驗室」。內部配置最新型的標準風洞，能夠供應穩定風流，確保同學製作的風力發電機在最佳環境中運作，同時保障實驗過程中的安全。

KidWind是源自美國的國際性教育計畫，致力於推動再生能源的學習，其每年舉辦的能源世界大賽（World KidWind Challenge），是全球最具指標性的青年能源科技競賽之一。本校自2022年起積極參與KidWind風力能源亞洲聯賽，屢次獲得佳績，並於2024年取得代表臺灣前往美國參加世界賽的資格，展現卓越實力。

成為KidWind認證學校之後，我們計畫發揮場域優勢，辦理風力相關競賽，並持續培訓專業師資，期望培育出更多具備國際視野的綠能領袖。而今年的KidWind選手甄選說明會，全校有近30同學參加，報名相當踴躍。現場也邀請去年的參賽選手611楊承學、周亮澐和林庭語示範獲獎風機的運作，傳承比賽經驗，期待激發孩子對於永續發展的興趣。

葳格將持續以實際行動引領教育革新，透過能源教育的深耕，為學生打造更具前瞻性的學習環境，並為台灣乃至世界的永續未來點燃希望之光。

This May, Wagor Elementary School – Beitun Campus proudly became the first KidWind Distinguished School in Taiwan. To provide our students with an exceptional environment for exploring wind energy, we have established ourselves as Taiwan’s only elementary school with a dedicated Wind Laboratory. The lab is equipped with a state-of-the-art wind tunnel that delivers a stable airflow, ensuring our students' self-designed wind turbines operate under optimal conditions—safely and efficiently throughout the experimental process.

KidWind is an international educational program from the United States, dedicated to promoting renewable energy education. Its annual World KidWind Challenge is one of the most prestigious global competitions for youth in green energy technology. Since 2022, Wagor Elementary School – Beitun Campus has actively participated in the KidWind Challenge in Asia, delivering outstanding performances. In 2024, we achieved the honor of representing Taiwan at the World KidWind Challenge in the United States, showcasing our students’ remarkable talent and innovation in sustainable energy.

As a KidWind Distinguished School, Wagor Elementary – Beitun Campus will continue to leverage our exclusive facilities to host wind energy-related competitions. We are also committed to advancing professional development for teachers, with the goal of nurturing the next generation of green energy leaders with a global outlook. This year’s KidWind Team Selection Briefing attracted nearly 30 enthusiastic student participants. We also invited last year’s finalists to present their award-winning wind turbines and share hands-on experiences, sparking even greater interest in sustainability and innovation among their peers.

Looking ahead, Wagor remains dedicated to educational innovation and leadership in energy education, striving to create a forward-thinking, globally connected learning environment. We believe that education is not just about knowledge—it’s a powerful force for global transformation. Through real-world actions and meaningful programs, Wagor is lighting the way toward a sustainable future for Taiwan and the world.
