Period # 1 –ROBOTICS-Automotive Hydrogen Horizon Automotive Challenge H2AC

Wednesday, February 14, 2018

Objective:

In this activity you will:

• focuse on the engineering design, manufacturing, and assembly process of the car

• Assemble a 1 X 10 MIRAI Prototipe

• assemble the chassis of the car

• run experiments combining battery and hydrogen fuel cell

• utilize Autodesk software to create and visualize their design

• gain an understanding of the engineering design process

• build and decorate their car body

• put teamwork skills to the test

Agenda:

What am I going to learn today?

• must explain how they have successfully incorporate principles of sustainability

• design my overall body design with creativity and originality

Why am I learning it?

The Hydrogen Horizon Automotive Challenge (H2AC) uses STEM teaching and learning strategies to build bridges giving educators and students an opportunity to learn nationally/internationally from each other!

Participation in the H2AC gives educators & students a chance to work as innovative teams to create positive change towards energy storage and use to benefit the world

You’re now part of the global education movement to improve our energy dependence by empowering your students to learn and take action with valid solutions!

Students will need to apply effective team practices and understand the different roles that are important for success.
