2. Our Team
Our team is called the generators , our team is a 5-8 division, we are from Clarence middle school. Our team consists of a boy and a girl who are trying to create a blade design for a wind turbine that will generate the most amount of energy to power places in need of energy.

3. Design Brief
Problem Statement: The problem we are trying to solve is designing a wind turbine blade to solve the worlds energy problem. We are creating a wind turbine that generates the most amount of energy.
Design Statement: I am going to create my blade out of balsa wood and cereal boxes, the balsa wood will be covered be the cardboard overtop of it. we are trying to create blades to produce the most amount of energy.
