The Tesla Science Center: Launch of a Global Museum and Science Center

The Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe is launching an International Museum and Science Center at the historic site of Nikola Tesla’s last remaining lab, which is located on Long Island, in Shoreham, New York.  Nikola Tesla is a famed inventor whose work with AC Electric distribution and motors, wireless technology, radio, remote control, and many other inventions transformed our lives and launched the modern technological age. Tesla's lab was saved thanks to a world record-breaking crowdfund that raised $1.4 million in six weeks, from 33,000 donors that represented over 108 countries and all 50 states. Construction is beginning this year to open the site to the public, providing exhibition and programming both on-site and virtually, celebrating Tesla and his inventions as well as innovation in general past, present, and future. We celebrate innovators like Tesla who move humanity forward through invention. This talk will be an introduction to that project and vision.
