When I began my internship abroad at OffshoreWind4Kids in Brussels 🇧🇪 I didn't realise how interesting it would be! In the past 3 weeks I already did: 🇳🇱 I helped Dr Ir William Beuckelaers organising a workshop at the Brunel office in Den Bosch to let children discover the engineering work and challenges in offshore wind. 🇫🇷 Then I attended to ISFOG conference in Nantes, decorating the venue with different offshore platform scale models 🇩🇪 And finally this weekend I w

What better way to end the week than a day on the beach, building floating wind turbines? 🌊 On the final day of the FRONTIErS - Doctoral Network Summer School in Barcelona, our DCs took part in the OffshoreWind4Kids workshop, led by Dr Ir William Beuckelaers. After a morning introduction to the fundamentals of assembling floating wind structures, we headed to Gavà-Castelldefels beach for a hands-on challenge. The mission? Fully assemble, ballast, and deploy small-scale float
