Founded in 2003, Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies began the sale of miniature fuel cells to demonstrate the technology to schools and students around the world, meanwhile investing into R&D of more advanced products and industrial applications. In 2013, Horizon Educational Group was formed as an independent division dedicated to the deployment of a complete range of educational solutions.
​
Horizon Educational is dedicated to providing fun and meaningful learning experiences through adapting innovative technologies into classrooms while maintaining robust academic standards.
​
Horizon Educational offers many great products. Just a few are highlighted below:

Bio-Energy Science Kit
​
The Bio-energy Science Kit is a great way to find out how a direct ethanol fuel cell works. Unlike most fuel cells which use either hydrogen or methanol as a fuel source, the Bio-Energy Kit is a working demonstration of the conversion of ethanol to electrical energy. The process is silent, requiring no combustion, and can run for hours. Explore the next generation of fuel cell technology.
​
-
Understand the principles behind ethanol fuel cell technology
-
Hands on experimentation with novel technology
-
Includes pH paper to shows the change in the physical properties of the of the consumed ethanol fuel
-
Includes experiment guide on CD as well as a complete manual
-
The fuel solution can be made with household items

Solar Hydrogen Science Kit
​
The Solar Hydrogen Science Kit lets students invent their own clean energy applications using fuel cells and renewable hydrogen created using solar energy and water. The kit also comes with a small electric motor and propeller blade as the starting point for motorized applications you can build using your futuristic solar energy storage device. The set comes with a complete curriculum on renewable energy with easy to follow experiment manual, assembly guide, flash animations, and background history on the technology.
​
-
Includes Horizon’s complete curriculum on renewable energy on CD-ROM
-
Lessons on solar energy, hydrogen fuel cells, electrolysis, and basic electronics
-
Build your own solar powered inventions using a fuel cell
​
Please contact your Regional Manager for more information.

​
Wind to Hydrogen Science Kit
​
The Wind to Hydrogen Science Education Kit enables students to invent their own clean energy applications using a small electric motor powered by a fuel cell. Hydrogen is produced through water electrolysis by a reversible PEM fuel cell that is itself powered by a wind turbine with profiled blades based on NASA aeronautics. This hydrogen is then converted to electrical energy by the fuel cell and can be used to power a small fan.
