Students interested in science and their teachers use an \u201cH2 Starter Kit\u201d to build a race-ready, hydrogen-powered vehicle<\/strong> on a 1:10 scale. They receive support from past participants and tailored coaching from our partner Horizon Educational. In the process, the teams gain in-depth knowledge of fuel cell technology and hydrogen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Armed with plenty of team spirit, creativity, ingenuity, and critical thinking, the teams will take their prototypes to the racetrack in the spring of 2025 for a final rehearsal<\/strong>. The teams will use the insights gained here about the car\u2019s performance in the weeks leading up to the Hydrogen Grand Prix Germany final to further optimize their vehicles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

On May 30, the big day will finally arrive: Teams from all participating schools will compete with their vehicles at the 4. National Hydrogen Grand Prix in Chemnitz<\/strong>, aiming to impress the expert jury with their design and performance. The teams will compete against each other in various categories.<\/p>\n

The goal is to complete as many laps as possible within a set time using a limited amount of hydrogen. This requires quick reactions whenever the hydrogen tank runs empty or the cars collide with each other.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
