iMiddle and Tesla Partner to Inspire Next Generation of Engineers
It was an exciting day for the middle school students who visited Tesla's factory on February 22nd in San Diego where they were able to learn about careers in Engineering while learning about Tesla motors and how they are producing the next generation of sustainability. The girls from Innovation Middle School participated in the event on "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day". As part of the event, the students got to tour the Tesla factory and participate in hands-on workshops. The girls were taught how to create a simple motor using a battery, copper wire, paper clips, and tape. It was led by Envirolution, a nonprofit that works toward science, technology, engineering and math career development in K-12 education. Innovation Middle School is proud to offer a rigorous STEAM program in their makerspaces including Gateway to Technology courses, robotics, medical detectives and more.
