MISSED ALL THE FUN? CLICK HERE TO MAKE YOUR COMETS GIVING DAYS 2024 GIFT NOW!
Wind Energy Club

Since Fall 2023, Wind Energy Club’s competitive team, Comet Wind, has been designing and creating a small-scale offshore fixed wind turbine, a hypothetical offshore wind farm in the Great Lakes, and a social media and networking campaign–where we partnered with wind industry professionals and hosted community events to spread wind energy awareness to compete in the 2024 Collegiate Wind Competition (CWC). Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the CWC creates an academically competitive platform for college students to prepare for careers in the wind and renewable energy industry by providing hands-on experiences through wind energy technology, project development, finance, communications, and outreach. Comet Wind has been selected as one of the finalists for 2024 CWC, which is held in Minneapolis at CLEANPOWER 2024 from May 5 – 9th. To support our participation and cover essential expenses such as travel, housing, food, and team polo shirts, we are launching this fundraiser with the aim of securing the necessary financial resources.
