Engagement: Introductory

Join other K-Staters in a discussion of this year’s common book, “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind” by William Kamkwamba.
The book tells the true story of William Kamkwamba, a young man who entirely DIYs a windmill that brings electricity to his family and his village during a difficult economic and environmental time period.

Some topics included in discussion will be wind energy, access to education, sustainability, as well as many more. Attendees do not have to have read the book to participate in the discussion.
