About

OffshoreWind4Kids is a non-profit organisation based in Belgium. Our goals are to:

Inspire girls and boys about engineering, technology and renewable energy
Stimulate innovation in offshore wind
Spread awareness of offshore wind to the general public

To stimulate gender diversity in STEM, we aim to reach as many girls as boys during our events. We only started in 2021, but due to the large interest, we've already been active in 18 countries! In 2023 we aim to inspire 10.000 kids with the project.
