From Geekdad:

The KidWind Project is run out of Michael Arquin’s basement in St. Paul, MN, and is all about educating kids about wind power. One part of this is offering really cool wind turbine kits from their website for home assembly and use in science fair presentations.

These kits look like great Geekdad family projects. I can especially imagine combining these with some kind of Lego build for a self-sustaining robot of some kind!
