As part of the H2READY project, the Municipality of Ajdovscina took another step toward bringing hydrogen technologies closer to young people at the beginning of June. Special educational kits – hydrogen fuel cell cars – were delivered to all five primary schools in the municipality, allowing upper-grade students to explore future technologies in an engaging and interactive way.
In total, the municipality distributed 108 educational kits, enabling students to assemble and test hydrogen-powered cars. Through hands-on experimentation and practical work, they will learn about reversible PEM fuel cells, which can both produce hydrogen from water through electrolysis and convert hydrogen back into electrical energy to power a motor.
Rather than simply reading about green hydrogen in textbooks, students will be able to experience and test it firsthand. This approach will help them better understand the importance of renewable energy sources, energy self-sufficiency, and the technologies that are expected to play a key role in the transition to a low-carbon society in the coming decades.
With this initiative, the Municipality of Ajdovscina aims to encourage young people’s interest in science, technology, and sustainable development, while introducing them to innovations that will help shape the future of energy. The H2READY project therefore contributes not only to the development of hydrogen infrastructure but also to raising awareness and educating younger generations about the importance of the green transition.
