HySchools Resources

These classroom resources have been designed to support the teaching of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology. They are designed to allow differentiation and be adaptable based on the subject and the age and ability of the students.

The teaching of Hydrogen has been broken down into 11 key topics. The resources in each topic have been carefully compiled by industry and university experts and educators across Europe to ensure the key knowledge is covered.

Innovative co-production teaching method – ‘IDCards’

The HySchools resources available on this platform (below) cover the main areas of knowledge related to Hydrogen energy. In addition to theoretical knowledge, students are required to build and implement various transversal competencies, to increase their autonomy and resilience in their learning and their lives.

The IDCards method supports teachers and trainers in co-designing a learning session in such a way that students can explore, discover and learn about the selected field within curriculum guidelines. It aims to support the production of innovative teaching by encouraging the integration of four pedagogical dimensions: "Learning event", "Final product", "Transversal competencies" and "Areas of knowledge".

The IDCards method was developed by Dr Stéphanie Fleck - Associated Professor at Université de Lorraine (France).
