Universität Kassel:
Congratulations on winning the main prize at "Jugend forscht junior"!
Today, the awards ceremony for this year's state competition "Jugend forscht junior" took place at the University of Kassel. The main prize for the "best creative work" as well as the first prize in the discipline of technology was awarded to Liang Künzler (13) from Jugend forscht MakerLab, Schuldorf Bergstraße, in Seeheim - Jugenheim for his aircraft concept for hydrogen production from solar energy (photo 1 and 2).
In this project, he designed an aircraft that autonomously ascends into the stratosphere and, at an altitude of 15,000 meters, uses solar energy to produce hydrogen and store it in pressurized tanks. In his model, several aircraft are accompanied by a tanker ship, which delivers the hydrogen there, much like bees delivering nectar.
The prize for the "Best Creative Work" was endowed by the Hessian Ministry of Culture, Education and Opportunities and presented by State Minister Armin Schwarz.
Kassel's Mayor, Dr. Sven Schoeller, was also present today to view the projects on site. (Photo 1, from left to right: Dr. Sven Schoeller, Liang Künzler, Armin Schwarz)

We warmly congratulate all the students on their achievements!
