Since our founding, the Tesla Science Foundation<\/span> has been\u00a0 organizing monthly meetings in Philadelphia , where the new members are introduced, including scientists, book writers, inventors, and others who come tell about what they do that is connected to Nikola Tesla.<\/p>\n

In 2014, Tesla\u2019s People project was started. With the film director Zeljko Mirkovic, we are making a Tesla Nation film and\u00a0 a television series about people that are involved in Tesla projects.<\/p>\n

Two artists, Bojan Mikulic<\/span> and Luka Radojevic<\/span>, joined the team. They create beautiful pieces of artwork and our organization donates their work to the institutions who can further spread the knowledge about Tesla.\u00a0 They made it\u00a0 possible for us to make this idea come true.<\/p>\n

So far, 9 bronze busts of Tesla have been donated to the following institutions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

–Franklin Institute of Science in Philadelphia:<\/span> This was the result of several years of relationship with the Franklin Institute. The TSF takes part in the Science Fair every year, as special guests. The reception and the ceremony of a Tesla bust unveiling was held, where the representatives of the institute, of the city of Philadelphia, representatives of the consulates and embassies amongst many other guests. Local and international media were also present.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

–Town of Rahway,NJ:<\/span>\u00a0 Nikola Tesla was a town resident and owner of Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing company in 1887.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many people there remember Tesla, and we were welcomed by the town’s Mayor and the town\u2019s representatives for the ceremony. Tesla’s bust now proudly stands where once his first electric street lights were installed at the Rahway Train Station. <\/strong><\/p>\n

–City of Leskovac and \u201cTo Build Tesla\u2019s Tower in Serbia\u201d organization.<\/span> A relief plaque of Nikola Tesla was also donated to the hydroelectric power plant\u00a0 Vucje near Leskovac, one of ten of that type built in Serbia, made in the same principles like Tesla\u2019s Niagara Falls.<\/strong><\/p>\n
