It is essential to promote the study of non-conventional forms of electrical energy generation to create a resilient society with awareness of and the capacity for development and experimentation to face environmental conservation challenges especially from secondary education. From a mixed methodological approach this study presents workshops with hydrogen cells to strengthen educational skills and boost the interest of 44 high school students. The methodology followed five main points: carrying out a pre-evaluation to measure prior knowledge an induction related to concepts of electronics and hydrogen cells tests with a hydrogen kit the presentation of final projects post-evaluation of knowledge and the application of a survey of motivation. Observation experimentation analysis and dissemination of results helped strengthen students’ theoretical practical and scientific knowledge. These activities awakened their interest in this type of technology as evidenced in the results of the evaluations surveys and project quality. This demonstrates the validity of hydrogen cell workshops as a valuable technique to enhance learning and motivate students to study unconventional forms of electrical energy generation.
