Construct a wind farm while protecting the environment and workers
The objectives of this game are to use teamwork and innovative thinking to assemble and position wind turbines. This includes designing and building a vehicle capable of transporting and maneuvering components of the wind turbines. This must all be executed while perserving the habitat of the local Prairie Chickens, and keeping workers safe at all times.
