Establishing and development of Nikola Tesla Clubs/Nikola Tesla Inventors Club in Serbia
After seven years of experimental work with Tacony Academy Charter School – American Paradigm Schools and Franklin Institute from Philadelphia on the project ‘Introducing Tesla to Schools in America’ under the guidance of Director of Tesla Science Foundation US, Ashley Redfearn, we are overjoyed to have you for a partner in continuation of our project.
It is especially interesting, not only for America, but for the whole world, that the most important parts are going exactly to the country of Tesla’s people, but the programs we develop will be available to all schools in the whole world, for free.
Drama ‘Tesla: yesterday, today and tomorrow’ will in a simple, yet acceptable way introduce students to basic knowledge of Tesla and his work which is the basis of establishing Nikola Tesla Clubs in Schools. Children in America and in Serbia and the rest of the countries in the world will have a chance to communicate with their peers and exchange knowledge and creative ideas when socializing and playing. Coronavirus pandemic found us all unprepared and sent us all into a specific state. We don’t know how long it will last, but we know that this is one of the ways to help children not to feel closed up and without the possibility to develop their social life.
During the last seven years, we developed a good methodology of work and training for Teachers and children. With the mutual exchange of experiences and knowledge, we are sure that Teachers and club coordinators in Serbia will adjust to the established model of work in Nikola Tesla Clubs that we have been developing all this time. On the other hand, this is an opportunity for parents, especially if both of them are working, to let their children be educated by professionals who will in extracurricular activities work on developing new knowledge in children.
Teachers and coordinators of Nikola Tesla Clubs in America are, besides everything, top artists, but above all professionals of all Science disciplines. They introduce students through art, in a subtle and creative way to new technology and knowledge which gives excellent results in children. Every day is filled with entertainment not only for students and teachers but for their parents too. Several times a year we organize exhibitions of works by members of Tesla Science Club members on the subject of Tesla and his work, from inventions to art/paintings, literary works, and drama, it is all open to the public.
We are especially happy with Director Sasa Jeftic’s enthusiasm and dedication, and other Teachers of Dragomir Markovich School from Krushevac, as well as our sister organization of Tesla Science Foundation of Serbia and its board of Directors, which has been participating in the establishment and development of Tesla Science Clubs in partnership with us for years.
