H2GP XPR RACE Educational Program 

Students are tasked with designing and fabricating a car that is powered by H2. First, they will sketch out their ideas on paper in order to help them come up with a plan of how they want to design their vehicle.
Next, they will need to source materials that are strong enough to hold the components of the fuelcell system, but light enough to allow the car to travel as far as possible.

Finally, they will build their prototype and test it in a race against others to see which designis able to travel the furthest.
