In a press release from earlier today, Toyota provided further evidence of its ongoing commitment to investment in STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). The automaker announced that it is partnering with Horizon Educational Group to bring the Hydrogen Horizon Automotive Challenge to 20 California schools in Los Angeles and Orange Counties.

During the semester-long afterschool program, students will be given the opportunity to learn first-hand about the future of fuel cell technology, as they build their own fuel cell remote control vehicles. The unique program kicks off today with a teacher training event in Torrance, California. It will conclude with the students racing their fuel cell vehicles in March 2017.

“The Hydrogen Horizon Automotive Challenge provides an opportunity to introduce the next generation of innovators to fuel cell technology,” said Doug Coleman, Toyota national vehicle marketing manager. “We hope this challenge encourages students to join Toyota in the effort to create a more eco-conscious and sustainable future.”
