Youth Hydrogen

Hi, My name is Simon Pickup, President and Founder of Youth Hydrogen. Here's a little bit about Youth Hydrogen: In grade four, the question-premise I chose for my science fair project was “How do we solve the fuel problem?” My answer was that hydrogen was the solution, and I built an electrolyser (a device which uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen) as part of a display that laid out how it could be done.

The Student Project Africa Network (SPAN)

Our generation is poised in a unique position to tackle some of the greatest challenges of our time through direct action. Yet the talents of many of our most highly motivated future leaders are unable to reach African non-profit and non-governmental organizations due to a host of barriers. Businesses exist to place volunteers in some of these organizations, but they are prohibitively expensive for most students, and many are insensitive to the needs of the communities they work within.
