Wind Challenge Cancelled

The Gorge Technology Alliance announced its 2020 Wind Challenge scheduled for next Saturday at the Fort Dalles Readiness Center has been cancelled due to concerns related to the novel coronavirus.  GTA Executive Director Jessica Metta said they did not take cancellation of the event lightly, but the safety of students and volunteers is their top priority.  She added they felt it was best to cancel the event based on the most up-to-date assessment and in consideration of general public health and safety.  The Wind Challenge put on in conjunction with Google and Columbia Gorge Community College usually sees 200 middle and high school students from the Mid-Columbia compete in a one-day competition to build the best wind turbine.  Metta said the planning team behind the Wind Challenge will reconvene in a few months to consider rescheduling the event for this fall.
