HMGMA Sponsors Bryan County Students Racing In Germany

August 14, 2025

Hyundai sponsored 16 teams in Bryan County for the inaugural Georgia Hydrogen Grand Prix as part of the Hyundai RC Program. This hands-on STEM competition challenges students to design, build, and race hydrogen-powered RC cars, equipping them with essential engineering, renewable energy, and automotive technology skills. The winning team will earn a coveted spot at the H2GP World Finals in Chemnitz, Germany in August 2025, where they will compete on a global stage. Additionally, the top all-girls team will be part of the Girls in STEM competition. Hyundai’s partnership with the H2GP Foundation helps align students with career and technical education (CTE) pathways, offering students practical experience in design, project management, and teamwork while fostering industry connections.

Hyundai has been implementing its Hydrogen STEM Program with partner H2GP Foundation over the past three years in schools and community organizations across the country, fostering curiosity and innovation in sustainable energy. To date, the program has reached over 1,000 students throughout the states of California, Georgia, Michigan, and Alabama. Last week, the program took place at Bulloch County Boys & Girls Club, where students built their own hydrogen-powered model vehicles, incorporating recycled materials and sustainable design principles. Afterwards, students tested their vehicles on a Hyundai-branded racetrack. The curriculum introduces students to the fundamentals of hydrogen fuel cells, clean energy, and real-world engineering applications, while also showcasing the work Hyundai is doing in the clean energy sector.
