We went virtual!
During our fourth year of partnership, Envirolution and Tesla brought this virtual event to over 1,000 students across the nation from 140 schools and 39 school districts complete with factory tours and interactive videos. All participants got an exclusive look inside the innovative tech company, showcasing the variety of engineering careers and the inspiring women behind them. The day concluded with Envirolution leading a hands-on activity highlighting the basics of the electric motor and the essential engineering design process. The testimonials and the pre/post surveys from students show that they logged off with a sense of empowerment and awareness of the opportunities available to them. On February 25th, each student received a kit complete with all of the necessary materials needed to engage in this event as well as a commemorative T-shirt.
