FCHgo at Home

In the context of the current closure of schools in many countries around the world at this time of health emergency due to the COVID-19, the “FCHgo at Home” initiative intends to extend the participation in the FCHgo project also to those who are staying at home with their families, to those who are engaged in distance learning or those who are curious to learn about hydrogen.
FCHgo proposes fun activities for everyone to explore the ‘energy of hydrogen’ at home. For teenagers even participation to the FCHgo Award from home is possible.

“FCHgo at Home” is addressed in particular to:

  1. all schools that are engaged in distance education with students aged 8 to 18 years;
  2. students of legal age;
  3. minor children (from the age of 8) which are supported by at least one adult family member.

Possible ways of participation are:

  • Choose one of the activities proposed on www.fchgo.eu/activities/at-home-materials and perform it. The activities are part of the FCHgo Toolkit, a training tool for learning about energy and the possible applications of fuel cells and hydrogen. The materials follow a storytelling approach, translating scientific principles into simple pictures and explanations which are easy-to-understand, even for non-experts. Many of the suggested activities are accompanied by additional simple in-depth guides and can be done autonomously
  • Take a photo/video as evidence
  • With your account/profile (or parent’s) follow the FCHgo social media (Facebook /Instagram)

  • Perform the activity and record your comments. Post photos/videos as evidence like in activity 1
