STARTING A TESLA CLUB AT YOUR SCHOOL
How can you organize a Tesla Club at your School? How can the Tesla Science Foundation (TSF) help? The first step would be to introduce your students to Tesla’s life and work through classroom presentations or a school assembly, depending on the best fit for your school. TSF would bring a display made by Tesla Museum and TSF and lead the initial presentation.
After that, we will consult with interested students and faculty to prepare a mission statement and organize the club. We have a host of resources for helping you to expand your Tesla Club’s exposure and membership, including:
-A Play: “Tesla Past, Present, Future” for which we already have a script.
-Tesla Traveling Exhibit (obtained by TSF from the Tesla Museum)
-Organizing exhibits for arts, science, literary achievements, and the like (TSF would award medals and certificates for the best work).
-Community evenings could also be organized in partnership with TSF. We could have an exhibit of student work. In addition to students’ families, the school could be open to the community.
-Tesla Clubs would have an opportunity to be on Tesla Talk TV (TSF’s TV channel).
Additionally, student members could become TSF members, where the school clubs would be advertised.
-The best student work would be presented at our January and July Conferences in New York and Philadelphia, respectively.
-We can provide quizzes about the life and work of Nikola Tesla. The best students would get TSF participation certificates.
