Birmingham school takes on big Hydrogen Challenge

Birmingham school takes on big Hydrogen Challenge

Students at Small Heath School and Sixth Form Centre in Birmingham saw first-hand the power of hydrogen when a team of scientists from Birmingham Science City and Thinktank visited them to launch Birmingham Science City’s ‘Big Hydrogen Challenge’.

Designed to highlight the important role hydrogen can play in meeting future, low-carbon energy demands, the workshop featured a number of experiments and pupils got the chance to build their own hydrogen and solar-powered model cars.

On the back of the experiment, Birmingham Science City’s ‘Big Hydrogen Challenge’ is now open to 11-14 year olds nationwide to design their vision of the hydrogen car of the future, with the chance to win the latest hydrogen-powered model car. Entry forms and further details are available at www.birminghamsciencecity.co.uk.
