The WindSmith Academy, is an educational institution of the American Wind Power Center located in Lubbock, Texas.

Our comprehensive two day school will cover the basic tenets of wind power generation and give students the opportunity to climb the Center's 50 meter Vestas wind turbine tower.

Completion of these courses will provide a learning experience for those interested in continuing their education in more formal wind power classes at area universities or colleges.

After this school, anyone interested in working in the wind fields will have the experience to determine if this exciting field of employment is best for them. Others who need or just want to learn about this new field of energy can learn how wind turbines work, what land areas are best for their use and what wind is needed to make wind turbines perform best.
