Students built and raced their own miniature hydrogen-powered cars at Haine Middle School on Tuesday, May 7.
The Horizon Hydrogen Grand Prix XPR race followed a visit from Mike Ducker, president and CEO of MHI Hydrogen Infrastructure, who spoke to the students about hydrogen and hydrogen ecosystems/infrastructure.
Additionally, Nicola Weiss, H2GP Foundation president, told the students about solar, wind, why hydrogen is important and what happens in the reversible fuel cell they will be using.
