In episode 7, we had to build a windmill that could withstand up to 60mph winds, and an environment that comes to life around it. We built Tidal Turbine Tango: when a new turbine enters their ecosystem, all the creatures in this corner of the ocean gather around it, because they’ve realized that the currents created by the turbine are really awesome for dancing.

  • Built over the course of 12 hours

  • Includes a lobster, a starfish, two seahorses, a clam and two jellyfish

  • Vibrant sea life and coral intended to shake in the wind

  • Sammy Squid is attached to the turbine doing “squid-ink graffiti”

  • Rocks designed to emulate tide pools

  • Turbine lasted to 50 mph!
