To address the issue of dwindling space and resources in urban schools, we’ve developed Tesla Truck, a mobile maker-space. This 21st century STEM lab is a fully functional machine and wood shop, an electronics lab, and a workspace on wheels. It is equipped with cutting edge tools like laser cutters, 3D printers and other CNC machines. Tesla Truck contains the tools necessary for our lessons.
