What is the Hydrogen Challenge?

The Hydrogen Challenge is a workshop or activity that puts hydrogen fuel cell technology into the hands of participants.

The workshop consists of an introduction covering a variety of topics related to hydrogen energy, followed by a hands-on engineering activity and post-activity Q&A session.

The activity challenges participants to design and build a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle from our custom designed kits.

The aim is to design the most energy efficient vehicle possible or which travels the furthest distance on a limited fuel supply.

Participants take an iterative approach, redesigning their vehicles multiple times in search of the perfect balance of characteristics.
