This workshop will introduce hydrogen fuel-cell technology and offer numerous interdisciplinary activities that align with science, language arts, and/or social science standards. Several Argonne scientists will discuss the current technology and offer possible scenarios for testing and integration into the US transportation system. Includes a review of Department of Energy Resources: http://www.eere.energy.gov/hydrogenandfuelcells/education/classroom.html

A parallel goal of the workshop is to recruit middle school teams for the Chicago Regional Science Bowl and Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car Competition. http://www.dep.anl.gov/science-bowl/

After an overview of the program and related options, students will be given introductory hands-on activities with various fuel cell/car kit components under the guidance of local automotive engineers. Registration for the academic and car competitions will open at the end of the workshop.

3 CPDUs are available for full teacher participation.
