5. 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.
