In Fundraising, Partners, Project ReCharge, Tesla

This semester, Washoe County Students participating in the STEM internship and service-learning class will be working with a group of Tesla Engineers to help develop hands-on activities exploring solar battery storage.  Students will utilize the Powerwall Educational carts, products of a 2017 and 2019 Project ReCharge student proposal.  Tesla volunteers took their ideas and made them into a reality by designing and building these custom units to help students learn about battery storage technology. Students will present their final project on May 25th to Tesla and Envirolution.Read More →
