The public is invited to the fourth annual Henley STEM Expo on Saturday, April 9 for the KidWind Challenge Regional Competition and a VEX Robotics exhibition.

The event runs from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Henley High School. Fifty-two teams will be competing. The top two high school and top two middle school teams in the KidWind Challenge will qualify for nationals in San Antonio.

The KidWind Challenge is a hands-on design contest in which student teams design, construct and test small scale wind turbines. The VEX Robotics exhibition will feature elementary, middle school and high school teams.

Event sponsors are Pacific Power, Oregon Tech, Klamath Community College, Modoc Construction, Klamath County Event Center, and Keeper’s Corner. Spectators are encouraged and there is no admission charge.
