Learn more about fuel cell technologies by reading the latest information from the U.S. Department of Energy's Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/fuel-cells). Also read books about fuel cell technology, such as Phillip Hurley's Build Your Own Fuel Cells. It offers instructions on creating low-tech fuel cells with a bandsaw and drill press, or just a few hand tools. Another suggestion: Modern Electric, Hybrid Electric, and Fuel Cell Vehicles, by Mehrdad Ehsani, Yimin Gao, et al.
Interview a fuel cell technician to learn more about the job and how they got started in their career. Ask your school's career services office for help with securing the interview.
