The Kid Wind Competition is an opportunity for students to grow their STEM skills and learn about renewable energy. 

On the WHOW Morning Show Friday, Superintendent of Bement Schools Mary Vogt told Regional Radio that her middle school students found continued success at this year's event despite the tougher competition. Now they'll travel to Phoenix, AZ, to compete at the next level. 

Vogt indicates that while this program is currently only at the middle school, the district has hired a new teacher who she wants to push for those STEM classes and activities at the high school.
