Wind park

The participants enter the venue and see numbered tables, closed boxes and a large selection of materials. It is not yet clear how this is all to be turned into a functioning wind farm – and that is precisely what creates the excitement.
After a brief, energising introduction, the task becomes clear:
Each team builds its own wind turbine. But the real goal is bigger – it’s about the combined energy yield of the entire wind park.
Curiosity turns into focus. Individuals become a project team.

At first, the task seems complex. But after a few minutes, things start to take shape. Teams plan, build, discuss and test.
Some take charge of the construction, whilst others handle strategy, the budget or communication. Strengths, roles and initial coordination structures emerge quite naturally.
The collaboration doesn’t stop at their own table – because a wind farm only works if the teams coordinate with one another.
Here, project-based thinking isn’t explained, but experienced.

Before the wind park goes into operation, every wind turbine is inspected. Stability and safety are crucial, as real forces come into play once the turbines are up and running.
Then comes the strategic moment:
How do we position our wind turbines so that they do not block each other’s wind?
Now it is no longer about individual teams, but about the interaction between all those involved. Communication across team boundaries becomes the key to maximising output.

The rotors begin to turn. The voltage readings rise – 8… 12… 17…
There’s a buzz in the air. Everyone’s eyes are fixed on the display. With every higher reading, their pride grows.
In the end, there’s a shared figure. And this figure is more than just a number: it’s made tangible – for example, by comparing what could be powered by this energy.
The homemade wind turbine stands almost two metres tall in front of the team. Visible. Measurable. Achieved.
A moment that shows: when we pool our strengths, real energy is created.
