Horizon DIY Fuel Cell Science Kit
Explore clean energy and engineering with hydrogen fuel cells
The DIY Fuel Cell Science Kit gives students everything they need to split water, generate hydrogen, and convert it into electricity—all through a creative, hands-on STEM challenge. Using real fuel cell technology, students design and fabricate an H₂-powered car, connecting classroom science to the clean energy systems powering electric vehicles and buildings today.
Fuel cells have existed for more than 150 years, but only recently have they emerged as a mainstream, low-pollution energy solution. This kit brings that modern relevance directly into the classroom, making energy transformation tangible, exciting, and meaningful.
Why Teachers Love the DIY Fuel Cell Science Kit
- All-in-one system: Combines an electrolyzer and fuel cell in a single, classroom-ready kit.
- Creative, open-ended STEM learning: Students design, build, test, and improve their own H₂-powered vehicles.
- Real-world relevance: Connects science content to renewable energy and sustainability.
- Highly engaging: Hands-on construction and problem-solving keep students motivated.
