Robo-PEM educational kits to introduce fuel cell implementation for vocational high school with renewable energy major.

A fuel cell is well known as clean energy that can be categorized as a renewable energy source. Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is one kind of fuel cell, which works in low temperatures using a simple structure. Regarding this advantage, PEMFC can be a chance for introducing fuel cell process to students in vocational high school with renewable energy majors. Reaching the goal requires a learning media that can show the structure and process using interactive educational kits. The educational kits are built as trainers, which could be more effective when integrated with smartphone applications. The application can work with multi-platform interactive media, such as augmented reality. Then, the educational kits named Robo-PEM were developed to introduce PEMFC implementation by using Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) model. The Robo-PEM consists of a trainer, job sheets, and material course, which are combined in the Robo-PEM application. The Robo-PEM educational kits were evaluated by learning media experts. The result shows that the Robo-PEM educational kits were valid and could be implemented for learning media in vocational high school. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
