Chem Club Receives ACS Grant for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Demonstrations (2008)
| The Chem Club received a grant from the American Chemical Society Puget Sound Section to purchase two hydrogen fuel cell model cars, to be used as demonstrations of power from alternative energy sources. Club members will use the models at science outreach activities with pre-college students, including the 2008 Desserts and Demos event. The club hopes to raise awareness of 'green' power, and promote the role of chemistry in finding environmentally-friendly options. Danny Hibbard and Mycah Uehling submitted the grant. |
