  I created a wind power workshop aimed a teaching children about energy, electricity generation and wind turbines. Students got to experiment with fundamental electronics and ultimately create their own wind turbine and measure its capacity to create electricity. To secure the financial future and social platform for the project, I established a collaboration with the National Power Company and the science outreach team of the University of Iceland who provided the funds and the platform, respectively. I hired several engineering students to assist me and finally replace me. The project continues to exist after I parted with it. Show less
