Amanda Stanko

Stanko’s innovative teaching idea, “Fueling the Future,” is focused on permanently bringing hydrogen fuel cell cars, which are powered by solar panels, into her classroom. The transparent car design allows students to see the inner mechanics of the vehicle, and includes a refueling station that produces hydrogen and oxygen from water. This project is a community effort that places an emphasis on being futuristic and engaging and provides a great topical unit about alternative energy sources.
