Raven SR Supports STEM Education Through Sponsorship of Horizon Educational's Horizon Hydrogen Grand Prix World Final

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Raven SR today announced its support of the annual Horizon Educational Horizon Hydrogen Grand Prix (H2GP) World Final, held from Sept. 11-14, as the sponsor of the hydrogen and hydrosticks to power students' cars.

This year's H2GP World Final, which took place in Las Vegas at RE+, North America's largest renewable energy trade show, included student teams from over 20 countries. As part of the six-month H2GP program, students from around the world built their own hydrogen-powered, 1:10 scale radio-controlled (RC) cars. The RC cars were raced in a series of competitions culminating in the World Final, which was won by Los Angeles-based Oakwood Pink team.

"Raven SR's support of the H2GP World Final demonstrates our dedication to shaping the next generation of the global clean energy workforce through hands-on STEM education," said Matt Murdock, Raven SR CEO. "We marveled in watching the students collaborate and are honored to provide support to this educational and fun program."

H2GP, a school-based science and engineering program, provides students with hands-on experience with designing, engineering, and racing RC fuel cell electric vehicles powered by hydrogen. The program boosts students' clean energy technology skills, while fostering competence in critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork for students.

"The H2GP World Final appreciates the generous support of our sponsors, including Raven SR, who provide materials that help our students succeed throughout the program," said Max Accordino, head of business development at Horizon Educational. "Our H2GP program encourages students to imagine their futures in careers in renewable energy and beyond."

"H2GP is the best thing that I ever chose to join in my school, it gave me a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. I'm very close with my teammates, and it also gave me an idea as to what I want to do with my future," said River, a member of the Oakwood Pink team. "But it also teaches you a lot of life lessons with commitment, I spent a lot of time doing this out of school on the weekends, but I don't regret it at all, as it pays off, like it did today."

Schools across the world are preparing for this academic year's H2GP season, with national finals being held in spring 2024. Those interested in joining the program are encouraged to visit h2grandprix.com or email [email protected] to learn more.
