Updated on April 12, 2015

Introduction

Science fair projects do more than just occupy a student’s time. They are practical activities that can help a student to find a career path. This is just what doing a wind turbine science fair project can help you do, find a new career niche that will be exciting and profitable.

Preparing for College

Renewable energy wind turbine science fair projects can be used as one of your first steps towards getting into college. These projects can be used to fulfill requirements for science courses that are required by most colleges. Usually college will require that their applicants have four years of science courses in their transcripts. These courses will include biology, earth science, chemistry and physics. As you complete these courses you will be given the opportunity to develop a science fair project around a science subject specific topic. For example, if you are taking physics then you can develop a wind turbine science fair project.

When you enter your wind turbine science fair projects you will come into contact with multiple people and organizations that can help you to get into college and to help you pay for your college tuition. If your project is good enough to get to the state or national level science fair then you will be able to talk with businesses in the energy or engineering industries that are offering scholarships and prizes, as well as colleges and universities that are offering scholarships and looking for students for their science programs. Science fairs are great chances to get your foot in the door and to make your college application stand out from the thousands of others being sent in.

College Degree Focus

In the past, most engineering degrees focused on general engineering topics such as electronic engineering or chemical engineering. Today, however, there are special degrees that focus on specific engineering applications, such as the design, construction, maintenance and repair of wind turbines. To prepare for these classes wind turbine science fair projects can be executed. They will help you to decide if working on wind turbines is the career path that is right for you, of if there is another option that will be a better fit.

In order to gain an advantage in the job search market, you need to make connections early. These connections can be made while you are still in school if you participate in a science fair. These connections can be used to find summer jobs during high school, internships during your college years and employment once you have earned your certificate or degree.
